Lanisha Kelly Scott was 22 when she was shot to death on the evening of April 12, 2014, near the intersection of Dryades and Washington streets in the Central City neighborhood of New Orleans. Her killing came amid a short, deadly span in which three women in Central City were fatally shot within less than a week, a string of violence that unsettled the neighborhood.

The New Orleans Police Department opened an investigation, but authorities did not release a motive or identify any suspects, and they did not publicly link Scott’s death to the other recent homicides of women in the area. As of the most recent public update, no arrests have been announced and the case remains unsolved.

Did anyone in Central City at that time see or hear anything that could help fill in what happened to Lanisha Scott?
