May 11, 2020 in New Orleans’ Fisher neighborhood ended in fatal drive-by gunfire that killed 23-year-old James Estem while he was outside with family. A vehicle pulled up and occupants opened fire; Estem was fatally wounded at the scene as his mother Temeka Estem held him. The same attack struck the family’s 3-year-old, Ishaia Adams, and their 48-year-old mother. The mother suffered a leg wound while shielding the toddler; Ishaia was taken to hospital, underwent multiple surgeries, and later died of his injuries.

Investigators say the suspects fled in a white GMC truck, crashed it into a utility pole, abandoned it, then carjacked a man at gunpoint to continue their escape. The New Orleans Police Department identified several suspects and arrested two brothers from Terrytown, 19-year-old Ronjae Steadman and 23-year-old Rodney Steadman. A third suspect, 19-year-old Razak Adekunle, was identified and remained at large. In September 2020 a grand jury indicted the Steadman brothers on two counts of first-degree murder, one count of conspiracy to commit first-degree murder, and one count of second-degree kidnapping; prosecutors said they would not seek the death penalty and the charges carry a mandatory life term without parole if convicted.

Who in the Fisher neighborhood or surrounding area might have seen the vehicle or anyone acting suspiciously that night?
