Byron Jackson was 21 when he was shot and killed on February 13, 2018, during Mardi Gras celebrations in New Orleans’ Lower Ninth Ward. The shooting happened near St. Claude Avenue and Andry Street and was part of a quintuple shooting that also killed 26-year-old Jamar Robinson and wounded three others. Jackson, a 2015 graduate of McDonogh 35 High School, was a student at Southern University at New Orleans at the time. His sister, Kadijah Jackson, later described finding him dying inside a car after the shooting. An investigation identified multiple suspects; an eyewitness picked Kendall Barnes from a six-person lineup, leading to an arrest warrant and Barnes’s May 2018 booking on two counts of murder and three counts of attempted murder. Derrick Groves was convicted on two counts of second-degree murder in the deaths of Jackson and Robinson and later received two life sentences for the Mardi Gras killings.

Claude and Andry?
