In the early hours of Thursday, May 10, 2018, 22-year-old Malik Marshall was found fatally shot inside an SUV on Alvar Street in the Bywater neighborhood of New Orleans. The New Orleans Police Department investigated the scene and the Orleans Parish Coroner later confirmed his identity. Public details about the investigation have been scant since that spring day, and no suspects or persons of interest have been publicly identified by the police.

A GoFundMe page organized by Malik’s aunt offers a different account, saying he was 23 and succumbed after an assault in August 2018 and noting he had lifelong sickle cell anemia that required frequent hospital care. The differing accounts leave key questions about the timing and circumstances of his death unanswered.

Did anyone in Bywater in May or August 2018 have information about Malik, his movements, or the events described?
