Thariyon Bryant was 22 and a resident of Harvey, Louisiana, when she was fatally shot on Friday, July 26, 2019. The shooting occurred in the 1200 block of Maplewood Drive. After the shooting, people tried to get Bryant to a hospital but the vehicle they were using broke down on the Crescent City Connection bridge; she died in that disabled car and was later pronounced dead at the scene.

The Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office first responded at the Maplewood Drive location and found signs of a violent encounter but no victim there. About twenty minutes later investigators were called to a vehicle on the bridge where Bryant was found. No suspects or motive have been publicly identified, and no arrests or resolutions have been announced.

If anyone knew Thariyon, witnessed the shooting, saw the vehicle on the bridge that night, or has other information that could help, please come forward.
