Tremell Williams, 37, was found lying in the middle of a roadway in New Orleans’ Central City shortly before 1 a.m. on Monday, July 16, 2012, after gunfire broke out nearby. He was a Black man who had been shot multiple times and died at the scene; wounds were severe enough that he never made it off the block alive.

Police located Williams in the street and provided few other details: there was no public description of a shooter, no stated motive, and no immediate indication whether the shooting followed an argument, a robbery, or a personal dispute. Authorities reported no arrests and had not named any suspect, asking anyone who saw or heard anything in the moments before the shots to contact Crimestoppers.

If anyone remembers activity in Central City around that time or has information about what led to the shooting, please share what is known with investigators or Crimestoppers.
