Gould James, a 29-year-old Black man, was shot dead in New Orleans on the evening of Friday, February 3, 2012. He was running from unidentified assailants through the 7th Ward when gunfire rang out; he collapsed and died at the intersection of Annette and North Villere streets. His death occurred just steps from where another homicide had taken place a month earlier.

No suspects or arrests are identified, and the motive and identities of those responsible remain unknown. If anyone remembers that night, saw activity in the area, or has information about Gould’s final movements, please come forward.
