A neighborhood dispute in the St. Claude area of New Orleans ended in a fatal shooting on the afternoon of Sunday, July 8, 2018. Police found 36-year-old Jessica May-Orr in an apartment on the 1900 block of Port Street with a gunshot wound to the chest; she was taken to a hospital and died of her injuries.

Witnesses said they heard a woman scream she’s got a gun just before the shot, and investigators quickly focused on a conflict with a neighbor. Within days the New Orleans Police Department arrested 51-year-old Kierston Johnson and charged her with one count of second-degree murder. The investigation remained active as authorities continued to gather information.

Does anyone who lived in the St. Claude neighborhood at that time have details about what escalated the dispute between the two women?
