Felix Barron, 21, was found fatally shot along the South I-10 Service Road on August 4, 2016. His death followed a string of shootings that morning across New Orleans East and nearby areas that also left a 38-year-old man seriously wounded and resulted in the death of 34-year-old Joseph Randolph, who later was taken to University Medical Center and died.

Earlier that day Barron and a 38-year-old companion had gone to a home in the 7100 block of West Laverne Street to look at a truck. According to the surviving victim’s account, Sedrick Gilbert, 46, and another person opened fire, striking the companion multiple times. The wounded man was later found in a vehicle on Lakeshore Drive and Pratt Drive around 2 a.m.; Barron’s body was discovered about five hours later. Detectives say the surviving victim identified Sedrick and Keisha as the shooters and later identified Gilbert in a lineup. Sedrick Gilbert and 38-year-old Keisha Edwards were arrested and booked in connection with Barron’s murder and the shooting of the surviving victim.

Are there witnesses who saw Barron, the vehicle on Lakeshore Drive and Pratt Drive, or anyone leaving the West Laverne Street residence that morning?
