On the evening of December 1, 2010, 19-year-old Torrance Massey was fatally shot while sitting in the driver’s seat of a car on General Meyer Avenue in the Algiers neighborhood of New Orleans. The shooting happened shortly after he attended a basketball game at his alma mater, O. Perry Walker High School; a passenger in the vehicle was wounded but survived.

Torrance, known to family and friends as Toe-Toe and Ace Boogie, had played quarterback in high school, attended the Apprentice School of Shipbuilding in Newport News, Virginia, and planned to enroll at Southern University in Baton Rouge. He was a father to a daughter named Jona Scott. City officials and law enforcement, including then-Police Superintendent Ronal Serpas and City Councilwoman Kristin Palmer, made public appeals and visited the high school seeking witnesses.

No suspect has been publicly identified, no arrests have been made, and the motive remains unknown. If anyone knew Torrance or witnessed what happened that night, please come forward with information.
