Michael A’Jan Man Williams, 23, was shot in the French Quarter’s 400 block of Burgundy Street in the predawn hours of October 4, 2021. Emergency responders found him on the sidewalk with a gunshot wound and he died after being transported to a hospital. Police initially described the scene simply as a man shot and released no motive or named suspect.

The New Orleans Police Department later published an image of a man they said was the perpetrator and asked the public for help identifying him. Weeks afterward, detectives named Jacquin Johnson of Harahan, Louisiana, as a person of interest they wanted to speak with, stressing he was not wanted on criminal charges. No arrest or charge in connection with Williams’s death was announced in those public notices.

If anyone saw activity on Burgundy Street that morning or recognizes the person in the image, please share information with investigators.
