A family argument outside a restaurant in Algiers turned deadly on March 19, 2023, when 41-year-old Khadafi Degruey was shot and killed. The dispute began inside the eatery and continued into the parking lot, where witnesses say his son, named in reports as Khadafi Degruey II, allegedly produced a firearm and opened fire. Degruey was with his children at the time; other children were present and saw the shooting.

Emergency responders were called but Degruey’s wounds proved fatal and he was pronounced dead at the scene. The New Orleans Police Department identified the younger Degruey as the alleged shooter and a warrant was issued; specific charges and any later court developments have not been publicly detailed. Very little is reported about what sparked the argument or the status of the family since the shooting.

Did anyone in the Algiers area witness the argument or the shooting and have information to share with investigators?
