KeShawn Bell was 16 when he attended a Senior Skip Day at Pontchartrain Park in New Orleans on March 21, 2013. According to reports, he walked away from the crowd with two other individuals during the event. Just before 6:00 p.m. his body was found near the railroad tracks at the intersection of Prentiss Street and Providence Place; he had been fatally shot and was lying face down not far from where classmates last saw him.

The New Orleans Police Department opened a homicide investigation but the case cooled. In November 2013 authorities publicly sought two persons of interest, 18-year-old Danny Brown and 17-year-old Danshaun Hampton, saying they might have information though they were not considered suspects. KeShawn’s mother has urged witnesses who were at the park to come forward. No arrests have been announced, and the murder remains unsolved.

Did anyone attend the Senior Skip Day who remembers KeShawn or the moments he walked away from the crowd?
