Brandon Bovain, 33, was fatally shot on February 25, 2022, in New Orleans after a spontaneous trip for Mardi Gras. He had been in the parking lot of a hotel with his girlfriend and younger brother while checking in. After Bovain returned to his vehicle to retrieve his phone, occupants of two other cars in the lot began shooting at each other and a stray bullet struck him. He was found unresponsive with a gunshot wound and investigators do not believe he was the intended target.

Bovain was a father to a young son; his family described him as a loving father who enjoyed traveling and fishing. The New Orleans Police Department opened a homicide investigation and was reportedly looking for a car of interest, but no arrests or suspect identifications have been publicly announced. The family continues to seek answers and closure.

If anyone was in that hotel parking lot or saw vehicles leaving the area that night, can you share what you remember with the investigators?
