Three brothers were killed in New Orleans during February 2021, and the middle brother’s death appears to have set off the sequence that destroyed this family. At the scene that night, Brandon and the youngest brother Bradley were arrested for battery on a police officer; authorities described those arrests as necessary to control the chaotic scene.

One week later, on the evening of February 20, Brandon, 30, and Bradley, 21, were ambushed in the 3100 block of Carondelet Street. Multiple assailants reportedly emerged from hiding and opened fire; Bradley was pronounced dead at the scene and Brandon died later at a hospital. A neighbor’s security camera recorded the sound of at least 30 gunshots. Investigators recovered the vehicle used in Bryan’s murder after suspects attempted to set it on fire and collected DNA that has not matched anyone; surveillance of Bryan’s shooting shows assailants firing from a moving vehicle and did not yield identifications. No suspects have been publicly identified or arrested in any of the three killings.

Billboards with the brothers’ images and a reward through Crimestoppers are being used to solicit tips. Does anyone have information about the shootings or the vehicle seen after Bryan’s death that could help bring these killers to justice?
