Marion Brit Hutson Jr., known to family as Brit and friends as Nino, was 21 when he was killed in New Orleans East on February 6, 2018. Born in Gulfport, Mississippi, he attended John Ehret High School and was training as an electrician. The killing occurred during what began as a gun sale arranged by an acquaintance, Leander LeFrance, between Hutson and Gerald Frog West.

The New Orleans Police Department built a case using digital forensics and ballistics evidence that led to arrests in the matter. Court actions concluded in April 2022: Gerald Frog West was convicted of Manslaughter, Armed Robbery, and Obstruction of Justice, and Leander LeFrance pleaded guilty to Obstruction of Justice and Accessory to Murder. Did anyone in New Orleans East know Marion or have information about the gun sale that led to this shooting?
