Toneya Young was 19 when she was found with apparent gunshot wounds and pronounced dead at the scene on Sunday, December 16, 2018, in a grassy area at the intersection of Lake Forest and Bullard Avenue in New Orleans. Responding to a call about a person down, officers discovered her lying unresponsive and face down. Emergency medical responders were unable to save her.

Family information posted on a fundraising page indicated Toneya was pregnant at the time, and relatives described her as a beloved daughter and sister. The New Orleans Police Department treated the death as a homicide and, in the days afterward, named two men, Michael Clark Jr. and Montel Lee, as persons of interest for questioning; authorities said neither was officially wanted for the homicide but might have information relevant to the investigation. There have been no publicized arrests in the years since.
