On March 14, 2026, 33-year-old Keyra Wilson of Hammond, Louisiana was killed after stepping out to run an errand. Wilson had asked 37-year-old Brendan Brown for a ride to a fast-food restaurant; after they returned to her home Brown backed his vehicle into a yard across the street and gunfire erupted from behind the vehicle. Wilson was struck multiple times and died in the vehicle. Investigators say she was not the intended target but an innocent bystander caught in violence rooted in a dispute that did not involve her.

Police say they developed a timeline linking several people to the shooting. A witness reported seeing James Clark, known as Monkey Man, and others leave the area in Clark’s Tahoe after the shots. Surveillance footage allegedly showed Clark arriving home shortly after the shooting, and detectives say that led them to identify Michael Edwards as another person involved. Authorities say Trevion Ferguson had argued with Brown the day before and was identified as the alleged shooter who intended to hit Brown’s vehicle; Ferguson, Clark and Edwards are accused of fleeing after the shooting. Ferguson, 27, was booked on first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder and obstruction of justice.

Wilson left behind several children. Does anyone in the Hammond area have information about that night or about Wilson’s movements before the shooting?
