Rickey Vaughn was 29 when he was fatally shot in Central City, New Orleans, on the morning of Wednesday, April 21, 2010. He was walking through the B.W. Cooper housing complex at about 11:20 a.m. when someone fired on him, leaving him with multiple gunshot wounds to the head. He was taken from the scene but died several hours later.

Vaughn’s obituary was published April 30, 2010, and listed his date of death as April 21st, with visitation and funeral arrangements. Court history mentioned that he had previously been a suspect in the killing of a teenager, a detail noted in reports about his death.

No arrests or publicly identified suspects have been reported in connection with the shooting, and the circumstances of who was responsible remain unanswered. If anyone saw the shooting that morning or has information about Vaughn’s death, please come forward.
