Cleveland Ja’Quan Thompson was 23 when he was shot in Marrero on January 19, 2021. He survived for five days before dying of his wounds at a New Orleans hospital on January 23, 2021. The Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office classified his death as a homicide and opened an investigation.

Public documents provide few specifics about the shooting itself. Media coverage from the period notes related activity around other shootings in the area, including the arrest of a then-17-year-old in a separate Terrytown incident, but no widely published information links that arrest to Thompson’s death or identifies suspects in his case.

The circumstances that led to the shooting and the current status of any leads or arrests have not been made public. Does anyone have information about Cleveland Ja’Quan Thompson, the shooting in Marrero, or contacts who can speak with investigators?
