Trevon Bernard Sr., known to family and friends as Boney or Bone, was a 42-year-old father and military veteran killed in a mass shooting in New Orleans’ Village de L’Est. He was shot on the afternoon of May 6, 2022, when gunfire erupted in the 4800 block of Alcee Fortier Boulevard around 2:14 p.m. A witness reported several men firing from a breezeway. Six people were shot in the incident; Bernard and 24-year-old Kenny Young were killed and four others were wounded.

The New Orleans Police Department opened an investigation and arrested 36-year-old Alex Madison the next day. Madison was booked on a single count of second-degree murder; police did not specify which death that charge referred to and said the investigation was ongoing. Bernard was remembered by loved ones as fun-loving, strong, brave and devoted to his family and faith.
