Joseph Duplessis IV was 18 when he was found fatally shot behind an abandoned house in the 2600 block of Monroe Street in New Orleans in the early morning hours of July 7, 2014. The Black Hollygrove teen, known to some as Lil Joe, had been wounded by gunfire; reports identified two suspects in the immediate investigation as police worked to piece together what led to the shooting.

Investigators later arrested two men and charged them in connection with Duplessis’s murder. Both pleaded guilty to roles in the shooting, ending the case without a full trial and resulting in convictions. Who in the Hollygrove community remembers Joseph or has information that could add context to what happened that night?
