Antoine Brumfield was 23 when he was fatally shot on the morning of November 26, 2017, in New Orleans. Officers found him around 7:30 a.m. in the 1900 block of North Rocheblave Street suffering from multiple gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead at the scene. The New Orleans Police Department opened a homicide investigation and within days identified two suspects and obtained arrest warrants for 19-year-old Dyrtrell Mcewen and 23-year-old Tyrone Myles on charges of second-degree murder.

Tyrone Myles was arrested, indicted on April 4, 2019, and tried. After a two-day trial a jury returned a non-unanimous 10-to-2 guilty verdict and the district court sentenced him to life at hard labor without benefit of parole, probation, or suspension of sentence. On appeal the Fourth Circuit vacated Myles’s conviction and sentence in April 2020 based on the U.S. Supreme Court’s Ramos decision and remanded the case for further proceedings; information about any retrial is not available. The status of the second suspect, Dyrtrell Mcewen, is also unclear from available reports.

Did anyone in the New Orleans community know Antoine or have information about the 1900 block of North Rocheblave Street on the morning of November 26, 2017?
