Jamar Lester Robinson, 26, was killed on Mardi Gras, February 13, 2018, on St. Claude Avenue in New Orleans. Around 8:18 p.m., he was one of five people struck by gunfire in a quintuple shooting that also killed 21-year-old Byron Jackson; three other people were wounded. Authorities linked the attack to gang-related activity.

Investigators later identified Kendall Barnes and Derrick Woo Groves as primary suspects. A grand jury in Orleans Parish returned a seven-count indictment charging both men with two counts of second-degree murder for the deaths of Robinson and Jackson, three counts of attempted second-degree murder for the wounded victims, and two counts of obstruction of justice in a homicide investigation. The case went through multiple trials and procedural issues that extended the court process.

Anyone with information about the shooting, the events on St. Claude Avenue that night, or who knew Jamar Robinson is asked to come forward.
