A verbal dispute at a Hayne Boulevard gas station in eastern New Orleans on December 10, 2013, escalated into a shootout that left three people shot. The initial 911 call reporting gunfire came at about 7:35 p.m.; when officers reached the 11900 block they found blood and numerous spent casings of different calibers but no victims on scene. Minutes later wounded people began arriving at two area hospitals by private vehicle.

One of those victims, 33-year-old Emmanuel Jethro, had been shot several times and was pronounced dead at about 8:00 p.m. Two other males, aged 17 and 20, were wounded and listed in stable condition. Investigators used witness interviews and gas station surveillance to reconstruct events and determined the shooting was a shootout reportedly started by Jethro’s 17-year-old nephew. A 17-year-old identified as Tracy Bell surrendered to police at his mother’s home less than two miles from the station; he was wounded in the exchange and charged with second-degree murder in Jethro’s death.

Did anyone see activity around the Hayne Boulevard gas station that evening or know the victims involved?
