Lionel Washington, a 27-year-old Black man, was fatally shot on February 2, 2023, in a home on the 900 block of Lebouef Street on the west bank of New Orleans. Police were called for a shooting that evening around 6 p.m.; officers found Washington with a gunshot wound and he later died at a local hospital despite receiving medical care.

NOPD investigators quickly identified the incident as arising from a domestic argument. A woman was arrested hours later and charged with manslaughter; authorities have said the charge reflects a belief that the killing was not premeditated. The specifics of the dispute that led to the shooting have not been publicly detailed.

Does anyone have information about Lionel, the household, or what happened that evening that could help fill in the gaps?
