Larry Hughes Jr. was 20 when he was fatally shot in Marrero, Louisiana, on the evening of Tuesday, August 27, 2019. The shooting occurred around 7 p.m. in the 1100 block of Tissington Street, where he had been visiting his grandmother. Hughes Jr. was sitting in a car when a gunman approached and opened fire, striking him multiple times; he was taken to a local hospital and died of his injuries.

Investigators with the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office treated the case as linked to an ongoing feud between the shooter and another individual, and determined the attack was not random. It was believed Hughes Jr. was not the intended target but was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Authorities arrested Carlos Heard and charged him with second-degree murder; Heard was later convicted of that charge.

If anyone knew Larry Hughes Jr., was in that neighborhood that evening, or has information about the feud investigators tied to the shooting, please share what can help complete the picture.
