Jestin Boogie Kinard, 19, was shot and killed on April 14, 2022, in New Orleans. Officers responded around 9:45 p.m. to reports of gunfire on the 3700 block of Mansfield Avenue in Algiers and found a male victim with at least one gunshot wound. Kinard was taken to a hospital but died of his injuries; the Orleans Parish Coroner ruled the death a homicide by gunshot wound on April 18, 2022.

Kinard had graduated from Andy DeKaney High School in Spring, Texas, worked as a longshoreman at the Port of New Orleans, and was described as sweet and introverted. He enjoyed returning to New Orleans for second line parades with his cousins.

Detectives identified a suspect in the shooting and obtained an arrest warrant for second-degree murder. The suspect was a juvenile at the time of the incident and was later taken into custody in Pearl River County, Mississippi; he was extradited to Orleans Parish on January 11, 2023, to face the charge.

Did anyone who knew Jestin or was in the Algiers area that night see something that could help investigators?
