JaDiamond Jones was 20 when she was fatally shot on the night of May 12, 2023, in New Orleans’ Treme neighborhood. She and a friend, Imani Williams, were leaving a hookah lounge after celebrating Williams’ 20th birthday when the attack occurred. Jones was a mother to a two-year-old son, Khaza, and was days away from graduating from Nunez Community College with a nursing degree.

Authorities called the deaths a double homicide and asked the public for information, saying they were looking for two vehicles that might be connected to the shooting. No motive or suspect information was released and no arrests had been announced in the initial reports. Jones’ mother accepted her nursing pin at the college commencement in an emotional tribute.

If anyone has information about that night, the vehicles seen near the hookah lounge, or knew JaDiamond, please share what you know with investigators.
