On February 23, 2014, 19-year-old Shalom Smith and 21-year-old Kentrell Bankston were found dead in the 300 block of Kenilworth Street in the Lakeview neighborhood of New Orleans after having sustained multiple gunshot wounds. Police say both men had been shot earlier on Craigie Street in New Orleans East and their bodies were later transported and left in Lakeview.

The New Orleans Police Department opened a homicide investigation and appealed to the public for information, but investigators had not identified suspects or a motive.

If anyone has information about where Smith and Bankston were between Craigie Street and Kenilworth Street or saw suspicious activity in either neighborhood that afternoon, please come forward.
