Rashad Darnell Kinebrew was 21 when he died from multiple gunshot wounds on Saturday, May 3, 2014, in New Orleans’ Lower Ninth Ward. Police found him lying in the street at the intersection of Marais and Lizardi Streets shortly before noon; he was pronounced dead at the scene. Investigators recovered a handgun from beneath his body, a detail that suggests a confrontation but does not identify who fired the fatal shots or why.

The homicide investigation remained open with no suspect publicly identified and no arrest listed. Friends and family remembered him by his nickname RaRa as the neighborhood absorbed the shock of a daytime killing on a residential corner. Who was responsible and what led to the shooting remain unresolved—did anyone in the community see or hear something that morning?
