Shawn Benjamin Brock, 46, was shot while driving in New Orleans on the evening of January 25, 2021. A licensed professional Master Barber who had recently secured a loan to open his own shop, he was driving near The Willows Apartments at Crowder Boulevard and the I-10 when he sustained a gunshot wound to the head. Despite being gravely wounded he drove about a mile before his vehicle crashed in the 7000 block of Salem Drive. His car had a shattered back windshield and several bullet holes along its side. He was taken to a nearby hospital and pronounced dead on arrival.

The New Orleans Police Department has described the investigation as difficult; by early 2024 no arrests had been made and detectives had few leads. Crimestoppers of Greater New Orleans is offering a reward for information that leads to an arrest and conviction. Shawn is remembered by family as a devoted father to his daughter Rayven Roberts and as a kind, thoughtful man who built strong relationships with his clients at Toya’s Xperience Studio.

Does anyone in the area have information about that route or that night that could help investigators?
