Shortly before midnight on January 7, 2010, a violent shooting at a residence on 2721 Urquhart Street in New Orleans left Kewanda Harris dead. Two other people, Karen Matthews and Desmond Harris, were also killed in the attack; a fourth person, Carol Belisle, survived gunshot wounds. Police found two deceased female victims in a bedroom, Ms. Belisle wounded on a bed, an unharmed child tucked under bed covers, and a deceased male later discovered in the rear yard with a gunshot wound to the head.

Investigators identified and arrested Charles Tiger Franklin and Dwayne J. Red Johnson; both were charged with three counts of first-degree murder in connection with the deaths of Kewanda Harris, Karen Matthews and Desmond Harris. If anyone knew Kewanda Harris or has information about what happened that night, please come forward.
