On the night of December 16, 2015, Lionel Bumma Delpit III, 25, and his 23-year-old pregnant girlfriend, Breon Stewart, were found inside their parked vehicle in the Wind Run Apartments parking lot on the I-10 Service Road in New Orleans. Both had sustained multiple gunshot wounds and were pronounced dead at the scene; Stewart’s unborn son, whom they planned to name Lionel J. Delpit IV, also died. Police described the attack as targeted and said at least one of the victims was believed to have been the intended target.

Delpit was known locally as the big chief of the Black Feather Mardi Gras Indians; Stewart was remembered as bright and ambitious. Crimestoppers offered a reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction. No arrests have been announced and no suspects have been publicly identified, and the investigation has since gone cold. If anyone knew Lionel, Breon, their movements that night, or has information that could help, please come forward.
