Loreal Young, 31, was shot and killed in the early morning hours of Sunday, May 31, 2026, on the 3500 block of Milan Street in the Broadmoor neighborhood of New Orleans. The coroner identified Young and confirmed the fatal gunshot wound that ended his life.

Investigators focused on a single suspect, 29-year-old Charles Stevenson, who voluntarily surrendered to the New Orleans Police Department days after the shooting. Stevenson was arrested and booked into the Orleans Justice Center on a charge of second-degree murder; bond had not been set. Authorities have not released a motive or described the circumstances that led to the shooting.

Young’s family and the community are left awaiting the next steps in a case that already includes an arrest but remains early in the criminal process. If anyone has information about Young, the shooting on Milan Street, or the events that preceded it, please come forward.
