Ronnell Nelly Owney, 31, was fatally shot in New Orleans on April 9, 2022. He was born and raised in the uptown area and remembered by family as a father, son, brother and a man of faith who preached his first sermon before age 13. He worked with his father in construction and landscaping and had hoped to return to offshore work.

Details about the circumstances of the shooting are scarce. His death came during a weekend that saw a record number of shootings citywide, and there has been no public announcement about arrests or identified suspects in his case. His family describe him as jovial and devoted to those he cared about.
