Don Williams, a 61-year-old Black man, was killed in New Orleans on November 17, 2016, after a gathering in a Lower Ninth Ward home turned deadly. Police were called to a residence in the 1300 block of Deslonde Street shortly after 3:30 a.m. and found Williams with multiple gunshot wounds to his chest and face. He was taken to a hospital and did not survive.

Detectives say Williams and another guest, Lloyd Henry, had been at the same gathering the previous night. A verbal dispute between the two men escalated; investigators reported Henry retrieved a firearm and shot Williams multiple times in close quarters among other partygoers. Police arrested Henry later that morning and booked him on a second-degree murder charge.

Did anyone at the gathering or neighbors hear or see anything that could clarify how the argument escalated?
