Kentrell Bankston was 21 when he was killed in New Orleans on February 23, 2014. Known as Trelly to family and friends, he was described as a son, brother and friend who enjoyed cooking and football.

Kentrell and another young man, Shalom Smith, were shot multiple times in the 6000 block of Craigie Street in New Orleans East. Their bodies were later found by a passerby on the side of the road in the 300 block of Kenilworth Street in the Lakeview neighborhood. Investigators concluded the shootings occurred at the Craigie Street location and the victims were moved to Kenilworth Street.

The New Orleans Police Department has not publicly identified any suspects and no motive has been established; the case remains unsolved. Family and friends held a memorial service at Fifth African Baptist Church on March 1, 2014.

If anyone has information about Kentrell, Shalom or the events of February 23, 2014, please come forward.
