On November 14, 2013, Deshawn Butler, 25, was shot and killed in New Orleans while riding in a car with his girlfriend, Amy Kinard, and their 7-month-old son, Deshawn Kinard. The family was driving near the Crescent City Connection when another vehicle pulled alongside and opened fire. Butler was pronounced dead at the scene; the infant was taken to a hospital and later died from his injuries. Kinard and a second woman in the front seat were not harmed.

Police described the attack as not appearing random. Butler reportedly urged Kinard to speed up and get onto the bridge because he seemed aware they were being chased. Authorities identified Butler as a member of the Fischer Fools and said the shooting was believed to be tied to a feud with a rival group called the Hot Blocks. Two men, Kevin Thomas, 23, and Isaac Pierre, 20, were arrested and booked on two counts of first-degree murder in connection with the deaths.

Did anyone in the area see the vehicles or the shooting that night, or have information about the rivalry mentioned?
