In the early morning of July 26, 2021, Nadia Payne, 23, and her partner Kelvin Oliver, 25, were killed in a drive-by shooting in New Orleans. The couple, who were from Baton Rouge and were parents to an infant daughter, were sitting in their vehicle near Bayou Road and North Broad Street at about 1:24 a.m. when another car pulled alongside and opened fire. Both were taken to a nearby hospital; Payne died shortly after arrival and Oliver was later pronounced dead.

Family accounts say the couple had been planning a future together, including a trip to Cancun where Oliver intended to propose. The New Orleans Police Department investigated the double homicide and CrimeStoppers has offered a reward for information that leads to arrests and convictions. No arrests or publicly identified suspects have been announced and the case is unsolved.

If anyone knew Nadia or Kelvin, witnessed the shooting, or has information that could help, please come forward.
