A late-night argument in the French Quarter ended in a deadly shooting on June 30, 2019. Around 3:30 a.m. in the 900 block of St. Louis Street, 33-year-old Jeremy Dilling Sr. was shot during a dispute and later died at University Medical Center. Surveillance footage reportedly captured Dilling in a heated argument with his ex-girlfriend; as he walked away, another man who had been seen speaking with the woman approached him. A brief physical altercation occurred on the sidewalk, and the man allegedly shot Dilling in the chest. The assailant was then seen walking away while bystanders scattered.

In August 2020 an Orleans Parish grand jury indicted 38-year-old Leonard Patty of Texas on second-degree murder, obstruction of justice in a homicide investigation, and being a felon in possession of a firearm in connection with Dilling’s death. At the time of the indictment Patty was reported to have prior convictions in Texas for third-degree domestic violence and aggravated robbery.

Did anyone in New Orleans that night see or record something not yet accounted for in this investigation?
