Albert Gilbert was 24 when he was shot in the late hours of a March night in 2015 on Mercer Street in Lafayette, Louisiana. A native of Carencro known to friends and family as Droopie, he juggled two jobs and was remembered for his humor and vibrant personality. Officers who responded to a call in the 300 block of Mercer Street found Gilbert with multiple gunshot wounds; he was taken to a local hospital and died of those injuries.

Investigators determined the shooting grew out of an ongoing dispute between Gilbert and another man. Detectives identified Terrance L. Levine II as the primary suspect; Levine was arrested six days after the killing with assistance from the U.S. Marshals Violent Offender Task Force and booked into the Lafayette Parish Correctional Center. Levine was later charged with second-degree murder and convicted in April 2017, receiving life in prison without parole.
