On October 8, 2013, 20-year-old Deshon Evans was killed in a Marrero home in the 5900 block of Becker Street shortly before 2 a.m. Evans was in a room with a 19-year-old friend when multiple gunmen entered and opened fire. Evans was struck six times, including two shots to the head, and was pronounced dead at the scene while still seated in his chair. The friend was shot four times but survived and later served as a key witness. At least three other people were in the house and were not injured.

Investigators identified three suspects and sought arrest warrants for brothers Kevin Hicks and Kevias Hicks and for Tommie Tucker Molette on charges of first-degree murder and attempted first-degree murder. The case record shows the defendants were later found guilty of killing Evans and of attempting to kill his friend, and received mandatory life terms for the murder plus lengthy concurrent and consecutive decades-long terms for the attempted murders. Kevias Hicks was also convicted for an earlier July 2013 retaliatory-style shooting that wounded a woman and a 2-year-old boy, with additional lengthy sentences added.

Did anyone in the Marrero neighborhood see or hear anything that night that could shed more light on how the attack was carried out?
