Anita Irvin-LeViege, 52, was shot and killed during an attempted carjacking on January 3, 2021, in New Orleans while she was delivering groceries to her parents. She had her dog Chloe with her; the dog was also killed. After the shooting her car continued for two blocks before crashing. Within an hour the same suspects carjacked another woman at a nearby apartment complex.

The New Orleans Police Department arrested two teenagers, Que'dyn Growe and Demond Thomas, who were 15 and 16 at the time. One father reportedly turned his son in after learning of his alleged involvement, and both teenagers confessed to roles in the deadly carjacking. The district attorney moved to prosecute them as adults. Both ultimately pleaded guilty to manslaughter and armed robbery and received lengthy prison terms, Growe 40 years and Thomas 30 years.

If anyone knew Anita or has information about the attack or its lead-up, please share what might help the investigation or the family.
