Peter Leon Oatis Jr. was 22 and a senior at Southern University at New Orleans when he was found fatally shot near Donald Douglas Drive and Lakeshore Drive in New Orleans on Thursday afternoon, November 2, 2017. He had plans to get dinner the evening before and go to his own home; when his aunt could not reach him and his employer reported he did not show up for work, his body was discovered later that day.

Oatis’s family has said they believe he may have been the victim of a carjacking. The New Orleans Police Department had not publicly identified suspects or motives and asked anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers. No arrests have been reported and the investigation remains open.

Did anyone in the area on November 1–2, 2017 notice a vehicle or activity near Donald Douglas Drive and Lakeshore Drive that could help the case?
