Benorian Leonard, 18, was fatally shot on the night of July 4, 2018, in the 100 block of Lindsey Circle in Carencro, Louisiana. Deputies with the Lafayette Parish Sheriff’s Office found Leonard at about 11:47 p.m.; he was pronounced dead at the scene. Authorities treated the shooting as a homicide.

Known as Ben or NoNo, Leonard had lived in Carencro for about ten years, attended Carencro High School and worked at a tractor company in Opelousas. Investigators arrested an individual on a weapons charge for being a felon in possession of a firearm, but officials have not released a clear motive or described the circumstances that led to Leonard’s death. It also remains unclear whether the person arrested has been determined to be directly responsible for the killing.

Anyone who knew Benorian, his movements that night, or has information about the shooting is asked to come forward.
