A midday shooting in New Orleans’ Lower 9th Ward on Monday, April 22, 2013, left 28-year-old Lionel Hackett dead. The gunfire erupted near St. Claude Avenue and Tupelo Street at about 1:35 p.m. Paramedics transported Hackett to a hospital after he suffered multiple gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead on arrival. Two other men were wounded in the same episode — a 52-year-old shot in the leg and a 20-year-old with a hand injury — both taken to a local hospital by private vehicle and reported in stable condition.

Hours later, another fatal shooting occurred just blocks away, which prompted questions about a possible connection, but law enforcement did not confirm any link. No arrests or suspects have been publicly identified in Hackett’s killing. Does anyone who was in the Lower 9th Ward that afternoon remember details that could help investigators or the family?
