Markeisha Hunter, 30, was killed in a daylight shooting in New Orleans’ Mid-City on July 27, 2023. The shooting occurred shortly after noon at the corner of Ulloa and South Pierce streets; Hunter was fatally wounded and pronounced dead at the scene. Police said they believe she was the intended target. A man who was with her suffered a non-life-threatening gunshot wound to the leg.

Witnesses and security footage showed the shooters fleeing in a white GMC Yukon that had been reported stolen. Officers later located the SUV in Gentilly that afternoon and pursued two men who matched suspect descriptions. One suspect was shot in the leg by an officer during the foot chase; another officer suffered a knee injury while making an arrest. The two men taken into custody were identified as 30-year-old Desmond Henry and 32-year-old Jessie Carter. After treatment, Henry was booked on second-degree murder, attempted second-degree murder, weapons charges, possession of a stolen vehicle, and resisting arrest; Carter was jailed on a charge of second-degree murder.

Did anyone in Mid-City or Gentilly see the Yukon, the chase, or either suspect that afternoon?
