Jaquon Pittman was 18 when he was fatally shot in a New Orleans backyard on July 10, 2012, around 2:00 p.m. He had been in his grandmother’s yard in the 2400 block of Arts Street when multiple gunshots rang out; Jaquon was struck in the chest and died at the scene. A woman identified by family as his girlfriend was grazed by a bullet and wounded.

Family members say the attack involved two gunmen who fired more than a dozen shots before fleeing. No arrests have been announced and the case remains an open investigation; a reward for information is still being offered. Jaquon had been preparing to enlist in the Air National Guard days after the shooting.

If anyone knew Jaquon, saw activity in the 2400 block of Arts Street that afternoon, or has information about the two shooters, please come forward.
