John F. Darjean III, a 23-year-old Black man from Houma, Louisiana, was killed by gunfire in the early morning hours of June 29, 2016. His death came during a sequence of two related shootings that unfolded within minutes of each other and left two people dead and others wounded.

Reports say the violence began inside a vehicle when an 18-year-old, identified as Michael Diggs, opened fire and killed Troy Deroche. Minutes later Diggs was involved in a second shooting during which Darjean was fatally wounded; two other people were injured and two escaped unharmed. Law enforcement arrested Diggs and a grand jury indicted him on two counts of first-degree murder and multiple counts of attempted first-degree murder.

The jury found Michael Damonte Diggs guilty on the two counts of first-degree murder and on several counts of attempted first-degree murder, and the court imposed concurrent prison terms. Does anyone have information about the events that night or knew John Darjean?
