On the morning of Saturday, March 21, 2015, gunfire erupted near Bourbon and Conti streets in New Orleans’ French Quarter. Twenty-year-old Bruce Tims was struck and taken to a nearby hospital with another man, about 28, who survived. Tims later died of his injuries; an obituary listed his age as 25.

The New Orleans Police Department opened a homicide investigation and quickly identified people of interest. Police publicly named 30-year-old Brandon Guidry as the primary suspect and sought 21-year-old Aja Doucette for information. Guidry was arrested and charged with second-degree murder; Doucette was arrested as well. An appeal in STATE v. DOUCETTE affirmed convictions and sentences, finding Guidry the principal in Tims’ killing and Doucette guilty of being an accessory after the fact.

Did anyone in New Orleans’ French Quarter that morning see or hear anything that could help clarify what happened at Bourbon and Conti?
