Darren Isom, 59, was killed on the evening of January 17, 2019, outside a bar in the Leonidas neighborhood of New Orleans. Described as a truck driver and a jack of all trades, Isom was standing outside when a burst of gunfire erupted; first responders found him with multiple gunshot wounds and he was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead. The Orleans Parish Coroner’s Office ruled the death a homicide due to the gunshot injuries.

Investigators concluded Isom was not the intended target but an unintended victim caught in crossfire during a dispute between others. If anyone was in the Leonidas area that night or has information about the shooting, please come forward.
