Bernell Collins Sr., 36, was shot and killed on October 1, 2016, inside an Uptown New Orleans apartment. Known to family and friends as Buck Bee, Collins was a father and a graduate of Alcee Fortier Sr. High School. The shooting occurred at the apartment of Kerry Tross, who was later arrested in connection with the death.

Tross was initially charged with second-degree murder and claimed the shooting was self-defense. The case went to trial, where the circumstances of the encounter were examined and the charges were litigated. Collins’ family described him as a devoted father and member of his community.

Does anyone have information about Collins’ final hours or witnessed activity around that Uptown address on October 1, 2016?
