On the evening of December 4, 2017, gunfire was reported on the 7800 block of South Coronet Court in New Orleans. Responding officers found an unresponsive Black male, later identified as 30-year-old VaShawn Tate, lying in a driveway with multiple gunshot wounds to his head and forearm. He was taken to a local hospital and died of his injuries on December 17, 2017; the case was reclassified from aggravated battery by shooting to a homicide.

NOPD Homicide detectives investigated the shooting and identified a suspect. On January 5, 2018, members of the Violent Offenders Warrant Squad with the U.S. Marshals arrested David Hester. He was booked into the Orleans Parish Justice Center on multiple charges, including second-degree murder, weapon offenses, and related domestic violence warrants.

Are there details about the evening of December 4 or witnesses in the Coronet Court area who can help clarify what happened?
