On the evening of November 20, 2013, two men were killed in a residence in the 6000 block of LaFaye Street in Gentilly, New Orleans. Twenty-two-year-old Kerry Pierre was found with a gunshot wound to the head around 9:25 p.m.; he was alive when officers arrived but died at a hospital about two hours later. Twenty-one-year-old Verdell Lewis was found dead at the scene from multiple gunshot wounds.

Police reported that both Pierre and Lewis were being investigated as possible suspects in a separate double homicide a week earlier that left Deshawn Butler and his 7-month-old son, Deshawn Kinard, dead near the Crescent City Connection. Within days after the LaFaye Street killings, officers arrested two men at a Franklin Avenue address: 20-year-old Isaac Pierre, the brother of Kerry Pierre, and 23-year-old Kevin Thomas. In February 2014, another man, Robert Garrett, was arrested and booked in connection with the LaFaye Street murders; a judge set his bond at $1 million.

Does anyone with knowledge of the Gentilly neighborhood or these families have information that could shed light on the events leading up to the November 20 incident?
