Gerhonda Elphage, 25, and her friend Irielle T. King, 18, were found shot to death in New Orleans on August 23, 2014. The initial investigation produced few leads and the case grew cold, leaving both families without answers for years.

The New Orleans Police Department’s Cold Case Unit later developed new leads that pointed to a suspect who was already incarcerated on unrelated charges.

The deaths remain a painful loss and some aspects of the legal outcome are unclear from available reports. If anyone knew Gerhonda or Irielle, or has information about the August 23, 2014 killings, please come forward with what you know.
