Tokoyo Jamal Palmer, 17, was fatally shot on the morning of January 26, 2015, in the 3700 block of Garden Oaks Drive in New Orleans as he walked to the school bus stop. A senior at L.B. Landry-Walker High School, Palmer was active in Navy J.R.O.T.C., choir, marching band and junior varsity basketball and was described as a student who stayed out of trouble.

Police say the shooting grew out of a dispute over a borrowed video game controller that had not been returned. Within a day authorities identified 19-year-old Kareem Richards, a former friend and neighborhood resident, as the alleged shooter and issued a warrant charging him with second-degree murder; later reports from 2015 indicated he had not been captured.

Palmer’s family publicly forgave the person responsible and urged that justice be served. Anyone with information about the case or Richards’ whereabouts is asked to come forward.
