On April 18, 2018, 38-year-old Kevin Dunkley was fatally shot at a CubeSmart self-storage facility in the Algiers neighborhood of New Orleans while he and three other men unloaded a U-Haul. Police found Dunkley on the ground with multiple gunshot wounds; first responders were unable to save him.

Surveillance footage played a key role. Video showed Dunkley and the others unloading the truck; at one point Dunkley and another man walked behind the U-Haul out of view. The same man then reappeared, appearing to tuck an object into his waistband before leaving in a pickup while the other two men departed in the U-Haul and Dunkley remained behind.

Investigators identified 37-year-old David Collins as a suspect. After police released a photo from the surveillance footage, Collins contacted detectives and identified himself as the person in the picture. Collins was arrested and booked on a charge of second-degree murder; his bond was set at $350,000 and later increased to $400,000 after a grand jury indictment in November 2018. Assistant District Attorney Abigail MacDonald was assigned to prosecute the case.

If anyone was at the storage facility that day or has information about the events behind the U-Haul, please come forward.
