Brandon William Fees, 38, was killed in the early hours of April 29, 2024, in New Orleans’ Marigny neighborhood after confronting people who were attempting to burglarize vehicles. He was shot multiple times and then struck by a vehicle, injuries that proved fatal.

Fees was a military veteran who supported fellow veterans through long-distance motorcycle fundraisers and volunteer work. He was known for generosity, service to troubled veterans, and close ties to his dog Elee. Friends and family have launched a fundraiser to help with final expenses and to benefit charities he supported, including Stop Soldier Suicide and the Children of Fallen Patriots Foundation.

No arrests or suspects have been publicly identified and the investigation is ongoing. If anyone saw activity around the Marigny on April 29 or has information about the incident, please come forward.
