On November 5, 2014, 24-year-old Kevin Ryan Roy, known as Lil Kev, was fatally shot in the Algiers neighborhood of New Orleans and pronounced dead at the scene. He was a son to Gwendolyn and August Roy Sr., a brother, and a father to three children. Family and friends held a funeral service at New St. Joseph Baptist Church on Odeon Street.

The New Orleans Police Department opened an investigation into Roy’s homicide. In the years that followed, no information about suspects or arrests has been reported and the circumstances of the shooting remain unresolved. The family continues to live with the loss and the unanswered questions surrounding who was responsible.

If anyone knew Kevin, his routines, or has information about the shooting, please come forward to help bring answers to his family.
