Demontris Toliver, a 25-year-old tattoo artist from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, was tragically killed in a mass shooting on Bourbon Street in New Orleans on November 27, 2016. Born and raised in New Orleans, Toliver was visiting his hometown to celebrate his birthday and the annual Bayou Classic football game. He was a graduate of the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts (NOCCA) and O. Perry Walker High School, institutions known for nurturing artistic talent. Toliver's passion for art was evident in his work as a tattoo artist, and he was remembered by friends and family as a generous and creative individual.
The shooting occurred around 1:30 a.m. near the intersection of Bourbon and Iberville streets, a bustling area in the French Quarter. Ten people were shot during the incident, including Toliver, who suffered gunshot wounds to the chest and shoulder. He was transported to a hospital but later succumbed to his injuries. The other victims, ranging in age from 20 to 37, sustained various injuries but survived.
Authorities determined that the shooting stemmed from an argument between two men, Jordan Clay and Kavon Manuel, both 20 years old and from the Lafayette area. The dispute escalated into gunfire in the crowded street, leading to the injuries of bystanders, including Toliver. Clay was arrested on December 1, 2016, and Manuel was apprehended the following day. Both were charged with second-degree murder and nine counts of attempted murder.
The news of Toliver's death shocked and saddened the community. Friends, family, and supporters gathered for a candlelight vigil at the site of the shooting to honor his memory. Attendees shared stories of Toliver's kindness, artistic talent, and the positive impact he had on those around him. His brother, Joshua Davis, expressed the family's grief and emphasized that Toliver was an innocent victim caught in the crossfire. ...Read More

I have always known the law and powerful people were involved in Kenny's murder. After he went missing I was fallowed and stalked by people, some looked like cops or undercover investigators and some looked like crooks, mobsters and drug dealers. And the law have never questioned me or asked me anything about what happened even though I know all of this information. I know that there are still people out there who want to shut me up. Cops have never tried to help me with the investigation they've only harrassed me and put bogus charges on me and have literally tried to pin stuff on me and send me to jail. When Ive tried to talk about Kenny to cops they either played dumb and wanted no part of it had 0 interest or they literally ignored me and acted as if I was not even speaking all while attempting to railroad me and lock me up. I have never even done drugs and I've always tried to live a legal abiding life. I'm now a father and husband works and makes an honest living.

In larger quantity than was actually legal for people to buy over the table from the pharmacy. Because sudophedrine was a main ingredient for making meth. This guy made so much money so fast from this illegal scam he was running that he Invested money into opening a franchised gas station. He built one location in Harrisburg just after Kenny went missing the construction crew was hired to start laying down the concrete foundation for the gas station. The crew that was hired was ran by and guy who was directly involved in the selling of meth and was a direct affiliate of Twinkies. I believe Kennys remains may have been put in the concrete of that gas station in Harrisburg. And the people running that are so rich and powerful and have the law and the judges and every body and everything In their pockets. It would literally take a miracle and some kind of super lawyer and the power of the federal goverment to ever expose this thing and bring criminals to justice and find out the truth.

Around new years I went to my mom's house in Jonesboro, a few days after new years my grandmother, Kenny's mom called me asking if I had seen Kenny, I told her the last time I had seen him was the night he came back from Twinkies after getting into a fight. As I talked to people around town and people who knew Kenny and were last around him all said he was headed to Twinkies house, but supposedly there was a cop there who was involved in Chandlers drug operation Wich was the same ring we were involved in at one time. It was said that they shot and killed Kenny and disposed of his body and several people were supposedly involved in the murder and the cover up. People who were involved in the drug operation who also had a lot of money and power. Through the years I learned that a guy who was once the manager of the food giant grocery store in Harrisburg used to sell sudofed pills from the food giant pharmacy for cheap prices and sold them to the local meth co
