Marvin Enrique Bardales Valle was a 32-year-old Honduran man working in New Orleans to support his mother, known for his humor and his skill on the guitar. He worked construction by day and drove for Lyft at night, sending much of his earnings home as he was his mother’s only son.

In the early morning hours of March 8, 2023, just after 2:00 a.m., he was shot and killed near an apartment complex on Morrison Road while on a rideshare shift. Police say the passenger shot him. Using data from the ridesharing app, investigators identified and, on March 14, arrested 19-year-old Tarius Tully, also reported in some accounts as Taurus Tilly; Tully was charged with second-degree murder. Family members believe he was forced at gunpoint to drive to the location where he was killed.

The family sought funds to repatriate his body to Honduras for burial and a GoFundMe to cover funeral and transport costs surpassed its goal by late March. Does anyone have information about Marvin’s final shift or the events around Morrison Road that night?
