On August 10, 2014, 16-year-old Jasmine Anderson was killed in a drive-by shooting on Burgundy Street in the Lower Ninth Ward of New Orleans. She was getting a bottle of water around 8 p.m. when gunfire struck a group gathered in front of a house. Seven people were hit; 33-year-old Terrance McBride also died. Authorities said they believed McBride was the intended target and that the attack was suspected to be drug-motivated. Five others were wounded, including a 2-year-old and a 4-year-old boy who were critically injured after being shot in the head.

Witnesses reported a dark-colored vehicle, possibly a Honda Accord, fleeing after the occupants opened fire. The New Orleans Police Department later arrested two suspects: 20-year-old Blair Taylor, charged as the alleged gunman with two counts of first-degree murder and five counts of attempted first-degree murder, and 25-year-old Jeffery Rivers, charged as a principal accused of supplying the murder weapon and the getaway car. Jasmine’s family remembered her as a good student whose life was cut short.

Did anyone in the Lower Ninth Ward that night see the vehicle or the people involved who could help fill in what happened?
