Elroy Raymond was 22 and from Harvey, Louisiana. He was remembered by family and friends as happy and outgoing, with a dream of becoming a clothing designer. In the early morning of Saturday, November 2, 2019, at about 3:40 a.m., he was inside the crowded 24/7 Lounge on the West Bank Expressway in Gretna when an argument with a man he did not know escalated and the other man pulled a gun. Elroy was struck in the neck and pronounced dead at the scene; a second patron was shot in both legs and survived.

Gretna police reviewed surveillance video and identified a suspect, leading to an arrest warrant for Brian Young, then 43, of Belle Chasse; officers arrested Young in Waggaman two days after the shooting. Investigators also arrested Young’s ex-wife, Serena Bartholomew, 37, accusing her of moving Young between locations after the shooting and charging her as an accessory after the fact; she pleaded not guilty in January 2020. A Jefferson Parish grand jury returned an indictment in March 2020 charging Young with second-degree murder, attempted second-degree murder, obstruction of justice, and being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm, and the case was then proceeding through the courts.

Did anyone who knew Elroy or who was at the 24/7 Lounge that night see something not yet reported to investigators?
