Freddie DeJean Jr. was 68 when he was shot and killed during a quadruple shooting in New Orleans’ 7th Ward on Sunday, December 1, 2019. He had been with others near Hardin Playground when gunfire erupted; four men were struck. DeJean and 28-year-old Louis Morgan died of their injuries, while two other victims survived.

DeJean’s obituary notes he was a husband, father, grandfather and a U.S. Marine Corps veteran. Police investigated the scene, interviewed witnesses, and initially received media attention, but the motive was not established and no suspects were immediately identified.

Reports indicate the investigation has since stalled and remains open with no arrests announced. If anyone was at Hardin Playground that afternoon or has information that could help the case, please share what is known with investigators.
