Frederick Magee Jr. was 24 and a U.S. Army Reserve Sergeant when he was shot dead outside a hotel in the 700 block of Tchoupitoulas Street in New Orleans’ Warehouse District on the evening of November 3, 2024. According to investigators, an assailant waited in a black SUV for more than 20 minutes before stepping out, opening fire with a rifle and shooting Frederick multiple times; the shooter kept firing after Magee fell. Emergency crews pronounced him dead at the scene.

Police recovered 12 spent rifle casings and say surveillance footage captured the ambush and tracked the suspect vehicle to the West Bank; that SUV was later reported stolen and found burned to its frame. Detectives treated Magee as the intended target and used surveillance and cellular records during the investigation.

Does anyone who knew Frederick or recalls activity around Tchoupitoulas Street that evening have information that could help this case?
