Kendrell Kat Glover was 29 when she was fatally shot on the evening of Friday, May 17, 2013, in the Algiers neighborhood of New Orleans. She was walking home from a friend’s house along the 1200 block of Horace Street when a black Nissan Titan pickup, reportedly occupied by two men, pulled up beside her. One man exited the vehicle and opened fire, striking Glover and causing her to fall; he then stood over her and fired multiple additional shots. She was shot eight times in front of the Greater Cypress Grove Missionary Baptist Church. Her mother, Cynthia Glover, was nearby and heard the gunshots. Family members remembered Kendrell as a mama’s girl with a vibrant personality; Cynthia had lost a son to violence 16 years earlier.

A witness reported seeing a black Nissan Titan leave the scene, and Crimestoppers offered a reward for information. Reports say a suspect, Carlos Heard, was later identified and charged in connection with the murder, but public details about arrest circumstances or the case’s legal progression are limited. If anyone knew Kendrell, saw activity near Horace Street on May 17, 2013, or has information that could help, please share what is known.
