Orlando Rickmon, 26, was fatally shot on the evening of April 23, 2013, while on the porch of a house in the 4000 block of Baudin Street in Mid-City, New Orleans. Known as Skateboard Lae, Rickmon was one of two people killed in that shooting; 22-year-old Desmond Bell also died and an 8-year-old boy, Daymond Harris, was seriously wounded. The shooters fled in a red Chrysler minivan.

Rickmon had survived an earlier attempt on his life that February, when he was shot multiple times in the 3300 block of Toledano Street. Authorities later linked the Baudin Street attack to Isaac Ike Jones, who allegedly acted in retaliation for his father’s death. In March 2018 Jones pleaded guilty to an amended charge of conspiracy to commit first-degree murder for Rickmon’s killing and to attempted second-degree murder for the earlier nonfatal shooting; he received a 30-year prison sentence.

Are there details about Rickmon’s life in Mid-City, his connections in the neighborhood, or witnesses to the Baudin Street shooting that anyone can share?
