Rakeem Holmes was 25 when he was fatally shot one Saturday night in the fall of 2013 in New Orleans’ Third Ward. His death compounded earlier family tragedy: in 2011 his 23-month-old daughter was killed by a stray bullet, an event that friends say deeply affected him and led him to volunteer at a youth center to promote non-violent conflict resolution. He was often seen wearing a t-shirt with his daughter’s picture.

At the time of the shooting no suspects had been publicly identified and no arrests announced; the investigation remained ongoing. The killing stands as another instance of violence in the neighborhood and left his family seeking answers and justice.

If anyone knew Rakeem, his routines, or has information about that night, please share what you know.
