Ignatius Miorana was shot on the evening of June 5, 2023, in the Michoud area of New Orleans East. Police say gunfire erupted around 7:47 p.m. in the 13000 block of Sevres Street, a residential stretch near wetlands and industrial edges. First responders found two people had been hit: a man and a woman. The woman was taken to a hospital by private vehicle and the man was transported by New Orleans EMS.

Miorana, a 22-year-old Black man and native of New Orleans born Nov. 14, 2000, did not survive; obituary notices record his passing in New Orleans on June 6, 2023, and describe a homegoing service held later that month in Metairie.

Who knew Ignatius or might have information about what happened that night on Sevres Street?
