On December 20, 2010, Jerome Man Man Hampton, 25, was killed in New Orleans while riding in a car with local rapper Renetta Magnolia Shorty Lowe. Their vehicle slowed for speed bumps in the 6300 block of Bridgehampton Drive when occupants of a white Ford Crown Victoria opened fire. The initial volley caused the car to crash; multiple gunmen then surrounded the wreck and continued shooting. Both Hampton and Lowe were pronounced dead at the scene from multiple gunshot wounds, and police later concluded Hampton was the intended target.

The case was tied to an ongoing violent rivalry with the 39ers gang. Investigators involved the New Orleans FBI Gang Task Force, and a grand jury indicted four suspected gang members in August 2014. A member of the gang, Gregory Rabbit Stewart, cooperated as a confidential informant and described the roles of others in the attack. Two defendants, Terrioues T-Red Owney and McCoy Rat Walker, were later convicted on charges including murder in aid of racketeering and received life sentences for their parts in the enterprise that included Hampton’s murder.

Does anyone have information about Hampton’s life in New Orleans or the events at Bridgehampton Drive on December 20, 2010?
