Malcolm Solomon, 22, a New Orleans native and forklift driver, was shot and killed on October 26, 2024, in the Algiers neighborhood. Officers were called just before 11:20 p.m. to the 3200 block of General De Gaulle Drive, where they found Solomon inside a vehicle with an apparent gunshot wound. New Orleans EMS pronounced him dead at the scene and investigators searched the area for evidence as they worked to reconstruct the moments before the shooting.

Police said they were still gathering information to identify a possible suspect and determine a motive; initial public reports did not name a suspect, describe an arrest, or provide specific circumstances beyond that the investigation was ongoing. An obituary remembered Solomon as a loving father to Malcolm Solomon Jr., a graduate of McDonogh 35 and Landry/Walker High School, and part of a large family of parents, siblings, grandparents, and friends mourning his loss.

Who has information about Malcolm’s last evening or the shooting that could help investigators?
