Dennis Landry

Dennis Landry was a 36-year-old Black/African American man with an entrepreneurial spirit in his native New Orleans. Known to some as "2 chop," he was remembered as a caring and generous person. A graduate of L.B. Landry Jr. Sr. High School, he had started his own business, running a truck called "The oh wee wee."

On Saturday, July 23, 2016, Dennis’s life was cut short by gun violence. A shooting occurred that evening in the city’s Gentilly Woods neighborhood. The incident was a triple shooting, and Dennis was one of three people struck by gunfire.

While two other individuals were wounded in the attack, Dennis’s injuries proved fatal. The New Orleans Police Department launched an investigation into the shooting, and the coroner’s office later identified him as the deceased victim.

In the years since the incident, no information regarding a motive or potential suspects has been released to the public. No arrests have been announced in connection with the shooting that claimed Dennis Landry's life. His homicide remains unsolved.
