Derrick Quincey Copelin, 25, was fatally shot while working on a drainage project in New Orleans on the afternoon of October 6, 2021. The attack on Annunciation Street was a daylight quadruple shooting that also killed 19-year-old co-worker Zernell Lee and wounded two others.

The community responded with tributes to both men, noting their dedication and promise.An arrest was made when the New Orleans Police Department charged a suspect named Jakai Davis, but prosecutors dropped the murder charges in March 2022, citing insufficient evidence after defense material, including phone records, was presented.

No new suspects or arrests have been announced and the investigation remains open.Does anyone have information that could help bring clarity or lead to justice for Derrick and Zernell?
