Caprice Keisha Anderson was 26 when she was killed in New Orleans on the evening of June 8, 2003. She was shot once in the forehead at very close range in front of her grandmother’s home on Lawrence Street; an autopsy also noted bruising on her body consistent with prior physical altercations.

Suspicion focused on her boyfriend, Kentrell Harrell. Witnesses said they heard a gunshot and saw Harrell near Anderson’s body moments later; he was observed trying to get into her car before running on foot and was caught a few blocks away. Before being told there were no eyewitnesses to the shooting, Harrell reportedly told officers they would not be able to prove he killed her. Friends and family described a violent relationship and said Harrell had threatened her; Anderson had planned to meet him that day to return his belongings and had expressed fear of violence. Ammunition seized from Harrell’s home matched the caliber and manufacturer of the fatal bullet.

Kentrell Harrell was arrested, charged with second-degree murder, and after a three-day trial in August 2006 was convicted and sentenced to life without parole. Does anyone have further information about Anderson’s life or the events that led up to that night?
