Tomika Chapman, 47, was fatally shot on the afternoon of Tuesday, July 11, 2023, in New Orleans. She was found on the ground near a white Infiniti sedan just outside her home in the Little Woods neighborhood and died a short time later at a local hospital. The couple’s 4-year-old daughter witnessed the immediate aftermath of the shooting.

Chapman’s final years included a documented history of domestic conflict with her husband, Gregory Chapman. She had made numerous police calls and sought protective orders against him; a 2019 petition described head injuries and fear for her and her child’s safety. In January 2023 she was granted a two-week restraining order alleging he had punched, choked, and threatened both her and their daughter.

After the shooting, Gregory Chapman, then 56, surrendered to police and was arrested on a charge of second-degree murder. He was placed on suicide watch, which delayed his bond hearing, and bail was later set at $750,000. His defense attorney said he suffered from mental illness and described a tumultuous relationship between the couple.

Does anyone have information about Tomika’s last movements that afternoon or the events leading up to the fatal encounter?
