Damond Wildman Peters was fatally shot on the evening of May 26, 2010, on the 2400 block of Benton Street in New Orleans’ 9th Ward. He was 19 and a native of the city. His body was found by police that night.

Peters was active in the community as an Indian with the Red Hawk Hunters and played basketball for several local schools, including MLK Extension, Desire Academy, Reserve Christian, and Mc Main High Schools. He left behind a mother, father, stepfather, two sisters, and a brother. The previous fall he had been arrested in connection with a neighborhood murder, but prosecutors refused charges and he was not prosecuted.

No suspects or arrests have been publicly reported in Peters’s killing, and the motive remains unknown. Can anyone with information about that night or Peters’s life in the 9th Ward come forward?
