On the night of April 18, 2017, 25-year-old Daronte Howard was sitting in a vehicle with a friend on Larry Street in Houma, Louisiana, when several people approached. A man later identified as 31-year-old Travelyn Warren Gims climbed into the back of the vehicle and a struggle ensued between Howard and Gims while others, described in dark clothing, robbed Howard’s friend at gunpoint. Howard was shot in his upper body during the altercation, drove himself to Chabert Medical Center, and died of multiple gunshot wounds the next day, April 19, 2017.

The investigation identified and led to charges against multiple people. Travelyn Warren Gims was charged with second-degree murder and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Michael Dewayne Diggs Jr., 34, and Jerod Mosley, 27, were also charged with second-degree murder; Diggs turned himself in and Mosley was at large. Landry Rendell Watkins Jr. was implicated and in January 2019, at age 23, pleaded guilty to manslaughter and received a 35-year prison sentence. Gims and Mosley later entered guilty pleas to manslaughter and were awaiting sentencing.

Does anyone have additional information about Daronte’s last movements or saw the vehicle on Larry Street that night?
