Charmaine Scott, a 45-year-old African American mother of three who was reportedly pregnant, was fatally shot on October 15, 2016, at the intersection of Clara Street and Jackson Avenue in the Central City neighborhood of New Orleans. The New Orleans Police Department opened a significant investigation into the killing.

Investigators later arrested Nicole Williams and charged her with murder in connection with Scott’s death. Court proceedings in the case included testimony about Williams’s past violent behavior and presented the prosecution’s account of motive and opportunity. A jury returned a guilty verdict and Williams received a lengthy prison sentence for the killing.
