On October 4, 2016, at about 9:30 p.m., Bobby Romero Basquine III, 22, was killed in a mass shooting on the 3700 block of Ulloa Street in New Orleans. Two groups gathered outside a residence and a volley of gunfire left five people struck; Basquine and two other men, 20-year-old Glenquel Emerson and 34-year-old Darome Hilton, later died of their injuries. Two additional victims survived.

Police released nearby surveillance video the next day showing two men running and another person collapsing, but investigators have not announced any arrests. Authorities say there is no evidence linking Basquine’s earlier testimony in a federal drug trafficking case to the shooting, though some have speculated retaliation; investigators have also suggested the attack may be connected to group or gang-related violence. The case remains open and unsolved.

If anyone has information about the shooting or recognizes the people in the surveillance footage, please contact the New Orleans Police Department.
