On the evening of June 24, 2019, 25-year-old Davante Robertson, a Black male, was shot multiple times on the 2800 block of Clara Street in New Orleans. Sixth District officers arrived after a report of a shooting and found Robertson suffering fatal wounds; he died at the scene. The Orleans Parish Coroner’s Office identified him two days later.

The New Orleans Police Department Homicide Unit opened an investigation and identified Lamont Reed, born June 6, 1994, as a suspect. Detectives obtained enough evidence to secure an arrest warrant charging Reed with second-degree murder. On July 26, 2019, the NOPD Violent Offender Warrant Squad and the U.S. Marshals located and arrested Reed at a home in Picayune, Mississippi, where it was believed he had gone to avoid capture.

If anyone has information about Davante Robertson, his last movements on Clara Street, or the events leading up to the shooting, please come forward.
