Herbert Foster III, 35, was killed on the evening of May 13, 2018, in Gentilly after gunfire broke out as a second-line parade was ending. Foster was found in the street with multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene. Another person was wounded in the same incident.

The New Orleans Police Department identified 21-year-old Donnell Brown III as a suspect and an arrest warrant was issued on May 29, 2018, charging him with second-degree murder for Foster’s death and attempted second-degree murder for the other victim. An Orleans Parish grand jury indicted Brown in September 2018 on second-degree murder, attempted second-degree murder, aggravated assault with a firearm, and aggravated battery. Investigators reported a possible motive involving a dispute over a woman who had been in a relationship with Foster and who was Brown’s ex-girlfriend; earlier that day Brown was alleged to have threatened her with a gun and struck her with a bottle.

A judge set bond at $950,000 and Brown was held in jail awaiting trial. Does anyone have information about that evening in Gentilly or the people involved?
