It’s incredibly painful to think about the suffering Lanisha Scott's family and friends have endured since that tragic night in April 2014. I wanted to discuss something that’s really been on my mind: the courage it must have taken for someone to come forward with a tip to Crimestoppers, ultimately linking Victoria Norwood and Kenneth Harvey to Lanisha's murder. In cases like this, where the crime seems so senseless, it's truly a testament to community solidarity that someone chose to speak up. It can't be easy to get involved, especially when fear and retaliation might be concerns, but that person's decision provided a pivotal piece of the puzzle. I hope this reminds us of the power and importance of community in these situations. It’s a bittersweet reality that while nothing can bring Lanisha back, this act helped her family in their quest for justice and perhaps encourages others to muster similar bravery in the future. New Orleans, like many cities, grapples with violence, but moments of unity like this show we can potentially make strides towards a safer environment for everyone. My thoughts remain with Lanisha's loved ones as they continue to navigate life without her.
