On November 30, 2015, 19-year-old Rachad Dowell was fatally shot at the busy Canal and Rampart intersection in New Orleans. Dowell, a lifelong resident of Algiers and a devoted father, was hit during a daytime shooting that left the community reeling.

Surveillance footage from the scene played a key role in the investigation. Detectives used that footage and other investigative work to identify two suspects. Within days police arrested Leron Calloway and booked him on one count of second-degree murder. Authorities later identified and arrested Markese Ruffin, who was also charged with second-degree murder in connection with Dowell’s death.

Anyone who knew Dowell or witnessed the shooting is asked to come forward with information that could help the ongoing case.
