On New Year’s Day 2020, a fatal shooting in Uptown New Orleans killed 45-year-old Chris Boogie McCann on the 3400 block of South Claiborne Street. McCann was found shot shortly after 5:30 p.m.

Investigators connected the case to 27-year-old Jermal Williams after surveillance showed Williams’ car at the scene that day. Ballistic testing tied a firearm recovered in Williams’ Algiers apartment to the weapon used in the killing. Williams was arrested on April 20, 2020.

A three-day jury trial concluded in September 2023 with Williams convicted of manslaughter, obstruction of justice, and illegal possession of a firearm by a felon. He faced a potential sentence of up to 100 years in prison.

If anyone knew McCann, his movements that day, or has information about the shooting, please share what you know.
