Axel Damian was 20 when he was fatally shot on March 27, 2022, in New Orleans’ Little Woods neighborhood. The same shooting killed 20-year-old Michael Reynoso-Garcia and injured two others. The New Orleans Police Department opened an investigation.

A significant development came when 28-year-old Cache Shelton was indicted on a charge of second-degree murder in connection with Damian’s death. Prosecutors presented forensic records, including DNA and autopsy reports, and interrogation videos to a grand jury; Shelton had given conflicting accounts of the events. Initial charges were refused before the District Attorney’s office reopened the matter and sought the indictment.

Damian’s family has been publicly urging justice and said they were relieved the case was moving forward. Does anyone have information about the shooting, the individuals involved, or what happened that night in Little Woods?
