Brett McCraney was 20 when he was shot in the early morning of September 24, 2017, in Slidell, Louisiana. Deputies responded just before 1 a.m. to reports of gunfire at an apartment complex on Pontchartrain Drive and found McCraney in the parking lot with a single gunshot wound to the chest. He was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead.

Witnesses at the scene identified 20-year-old Frank William Beckendorf, III, also of Slidell, as the person who shot McCraney after a verbal altercation between the two men. Beckendorf was arrested and initially charged with second-degree murder; a St. Tammany Parish grand jury later returned a manslaughter indictment in January 2018.

Did anyone in the Slidell area remember the incident or have information about McCraney’s movements that night?
