Keyan Demetrius Watkins, a 34-year-old Black man born December 7, 1983, died from gunshot injuries sustained during an ambush-style shooting in New Orleans’ Broadmoor neighborhood. The attack occurred in the early morning hours of April 15, 2018, when an assailant reportedly waited for the victims and opened fire, striking two people. Watkins succumbed to his wounds on April 18, 2018; a woman in her thirties was also wounded in the same incident. Family and friends held a memorial for Watkins weeks after his death.

The shooting was described by those involved in the response as an ambush, and investigators treated it as a targeted double-shooting. If anyone knew Keyan Watkins, his movements that night, or has information about the Broadmoor shooting, please share what is known.
