Haven Lodge was 17 when she was killed by a stray bullet after a party on the night of Saturday, August 27, 2022, near the Milne Recreation Center in the 5300 block of Franklin Avenue in New Orleans. She had just celebrated her seventeenth birthday and was starting her senior year at The Net Charter High School, with plans to become a pharmacist. Her family described her as a girly girl who loved fashion and shopping and the youngest of three siblings.

Emergency services found Haven on the sidewalk and took her to a nearby hospital, where she died of her injuries. The New Orleans Police Department had not identified any suspects and no arrests had been made at the time of the investigation. The family held a candlelight memorial with pink and white balloons and asked anyone with information to come forward.

Did anyone at the party or in the neighborhood see something that could help identify who fired the shots?
