Sentell Travis Crawford was 30 when he was found fatally shot inside a vehicle on the evening of Friday, July 8, 2011, on the 3300 block of Higgins Boulevard in the Desire neighborhood of New Orleans. He was pronounced dead at the scene after sustaining a gunshot wound to the head.

Crawford’s killing was investigated as connected to a nearby slaying the previous day: 26-year-old Juan Carter was found shot to death on July 7, 2011, in the 3400 block of Pleasure Street, just a few blocks away. The New Orleans Police Department treated the two homicides as related incidents. No arrests have been publicly reported and the cases remain unsolved.

If anyone has information about Crawford, Carter, or the events of July 7–8, 2011, please come forward to assist the ongoing inquiries.
