An argument at a corner store in the Leonidas neighborhood of New Orleans on May 24, 2018, ended when Jarivas Jarrow was shot and killed in front of his girlfriend and their two young sons. Witnesses reported that Darnell Braud was seen arguing with Jarrow moments before Braud opened fire; the motive for the argument and shooting was not detailed.

Braud, 29 at the time of the killing, was later apprehended and prosecuted. In February 2020 he received a 25-year sentence for Jarrow’s murder as part of a larger 140-year total sentence; the judge barred him from early release because of prior violent convictions, including two manslaughter convictions from 2007 and 2017.

If anyone remembers the shooting outside that store or has information about what led to the argument, please share what you know.
