In the early morning of February 18, 2018, a dispute on North Broad Street in New Orleans turned deadly for 21-year-old Troy Wilson Jr. The incident began as a large brawl in the 700 block and culminated in gunfire around 2:10 a.m. Responding officers found Wilson with a gunshot wound to his upper body; paramedics rendered aid but he died from his injuries.

The New Orleans Police Department identified a suspect and an arrest warrant was issued for 22-year-old Carlsel Alexander, who was on probation at the time for a second-degree battery conviction in another parish. An Orleans Parish grand jury later returned a three-count indictment charging Alexander with second-degree murder, obstruction of justice in a homicide investigation, and being a felon in possession of a firearm; a judge raised his bond to $475,000.

If anyone witnessed the brawl on North Broad Street that night or has information about what led to the shooting, please come forward.
