On a late Friday morning in New Orleans, on March 30, 2012, 23-year-old Tommie Thurmand Jr. was killed in a brazen drive-by shooting. Thurmand, a Black male, was driving his BMW on South Carrollton Avenue near Palm Street when the attack occurred at about 11:40 a.m. He was taken to the LSU Trauma Center but died of his injuries.

The New Orleans Police Department opened a homicide investigation, but there has been no public release of information about suspects or arrests. The case has grown cold, leaving family and the community without answers or a sense of justice for his untimely death.

If anyone was in the area that morning or has information about the shooting, please come forward and share what you know.
