Tynarvia Rogers was 17 and a student at Walter L. Cohen High School when she was fatally shot on October 30, 2024, in a double homicide in New Orleans’ Plum Orchard neighborhood. The other victim was 20-year-old Jordan Chavez. Both were found with gunshot wounds inside a residence on Laine Avenue and were pronounced dead at the scene.

Family members say Tynarvia and Jordan were friends; Tynarvia’s mother had given her permission to spend the night at a friend’s house. The mother learned of her daughter’s death the next morning via a social media message. The New Orleans Police Department has not announced any arrests, suspects, or a motive, and the investigation remains ongoing.

Anyone who was in the Plum Orchard area on Laine Avenue the night of October 30, 2024, or who knew Tynarvia or Jordan and can share information is asked to come forward.
