Jessica Williams, a 33-year-old mother of two from Chicago, was killed while visiting New Orleans for her birthday. In the early morning hours of Sunday, September 28, 2025, she and her sister were walking on Bourbon Street when they became caught in the middle of a heated argument that erupted into gunfire in the 100 block at about 2:22 a.m. Williams was struck and pronounced dead at the scene; her sister was also injured. Two other people, a man and a woman, were hospitalized with injuries and a fourth person later sought treatment for a graze wound.

Police released images of four persons of interest and identified two men in the exchange of gunfire as Mai Jarius Andrew and Dantrell Bradley; both men were arrested in connection with the shooting. Williams had been persuaded to celebrate her birthday with family after reluctant to take time for herself.

Does anyone who was on Bourbon Street that night or who knew Jessica have information that could help piece together what happened?
