On the evening of December 14, 2011, Terrance Barber Jr., 27, was shot and killed while sitting in the passenger seat of a burgundy Buick Century parked at 3915 Annunciation Street in New Orleans. A black pickup truck carrying multiple gunmen pulled up and opened fire; the Buick, struck by gunfire, rolled forward and crashed into a vehicle across the street. Barber was pronounced dead at the scene. His friend and the driver, Jamal Phillips, was taken to hospital and later died of his injuries.

Police investigated the double killing amid a neighborhood with known gang activity, and authorities have speculated about possible gang connections, but no official motive has been confirmed. No arrests have been announced and the shooters’ identities remain unknown. Barber’s family included a fiancée and a daughter, who survived him.

If anyone has information about the shooting or knew Barber or Phillips, please share what you know with investigators.
