Donald Dillard, a 39-year-old Black man, was killed early on Sunday morning, February 25, 2018, after gunfire erupted inside a vehicle in New Orleans’ Treme neighborhood. Around 3:20 a.m. the car was moving along the 1000 block of North Dorgenois Street when an apparent struggle or sudden motion occurred between the driver and a passenger. Investigators said the driver, Cardero Davis, pulled a gun and shot Dillard. Dillard was driven to University Medical Center by Davis and later died of his wounds.

Davis surrendered that same morning at the New Orleans Police Department’s First District Station and was arrested on a charge of second-degree murder and booked into Orleans Parish Prison.
