Kenneth Young was an 18-year-old student at Landry-Walker High School who was fatally shot in New Orleans on December 15, 2013. He suffered multiple gunshot wounds to the head near the intersection of Peoples and Jasmine streets in the Gentilly neighborhood.

His body was discovered the next morning in the trunk of a white Infiniti backed into a wooded area in Slidell, Louisiana. The vehicle, reported as suspicious by neighbors, was smeared with blood both inside and out. Investigators concluded the car and victim had no connection to Slidell and that Young had been killed in New Orleans; his body was reportedly transported across Lake Pontchartrain and abandoned in Slidell.

Phone records, fingerprints in the vehicle, and camera footage linked three suspects to the case. Diamante Bartholomew (17 at the time), his cousin Corey Levy (21), and an 18-year-old, Jude Braud, were arrested and later tried. All three were convicted on second-degree murder, conspiracy to commit armed robbery, armed robbery, and obstruction of justice.

Did anyone in Gentilly or Slidell see the white Infiniti around December 15–16, 2013?
