Roland Tramond Sewell, 22, was found with multiple gunshot wounds and pronounced dead at the scene on December 17, 2016, on the sidewalk in the 7800 block of Fairmont Drive in New Orleans East. The New Orleans Police Department opened a homicide investigation; motive and circumstances have been described as scarce and no suspects or persons of interest were publicly named immediately after the shooting.

Sewell attended Langham Creek High School in Houston, Texas. His death was recorded by the Orleans Parish Coroner’s Office and he was later laid to rest. Online memorial pages and cold case listings continue to include his name as the investigation remains open.

Does anyone in New Orleans East or Houston remember seeing Roland that night or have information that could help investigators?
