On the night of Thursday, April 28, 2022, 24-year-old MacArthur Spellman was fatally shot in the Irish Channel neighborhood of New Orleans.

Spellman’s mother remembered him as fun-loving and devoted to family and basketball. The New Orleans Police Department opened an investigation, but no information about suspects or arrests has been released.
