Orin Grant Jr. was a 20-year-old percussionist and New Orleans Military and Maritime Academy graduate pursuing process technology at Nunez Community College when he was killed on August 2, 2022, in Harvey, Louisiana. The son of Rev. Dr. Orin D. Grant Sr., he played drums at St. Paul Missionary Baptist Church and other local congregations and was described as active in his community.

According to his father, while visiting his girlfriend on Pailet Avenue Grant was asked to step into the backyard by someone related to the girlfriend. Two gunmen were allegedly waiting and opened fire, and witnesses reported seeing two men run from the scene after shots were heard. Grant was shot in the back as he tried to flee.

One arrest has been made in connection with the case: 41-year-old Larry Dixon Jr. of Harvey was taken into custody on a charge of obstruction of justice; he is accused of having asked Grant to come outside and of driving away after the shooting. The investigation is ongoing. If anyone knew Orin, was in that neighborhood that evening, or has information that could help, please come forward.
