Joshua Clayton George was a 22-year-old Black man from New Orleans who died on April 18, 2012 — the same day he was inducted into Delgado Community College’s Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society. He had a 3.99 GPA, planned to pursue music with a scholarship, and was described by those who knew him as polite, loving, respectful, and steady. Born in Houston on August 18, 1989, he moved to New Orleans as a toddler and attended McDonogh #39 and McDonogh #35 before studying at Texas Southern University and Delgado.

Less than four hours after the honor society induction, he was dead. No official details about what happened or any suspects, arrests, charges, trials, or convictions are provided. A visitation and funeral were held at Tulane Memorial Baptist Church on Paris Avenue, and he was buried at Lake Lawn Cemetery. If anyone knew Joshua, his family, or has information about that day please come forward.
