35 year old mother of 7 shot in the back In the early morning hours of September 11, 2017, a disturbance in a Central City parking lot in New Orleans tragically cut short the life of 35-year-old Giggie Blount. An African-American female, Blount was a mother to seven children and was remembered by her family as a vibrant and loving woman who enjoyed singing and dancing.
Responding to a call at approximately 3:30 a.m., police officers discovered Blount with a gunshot wound to her back.
Emergency medical services attempted to revive her at the scene before rushing her to a nearby hospital, where she ultimately succumbed to her injury. Investigators learned that prior to the shooting, Blount had been involved in an argument with at least one individual.
Despite the ongoing investigation into her death, no arrests have been made, and authorities have not publicly identified any suspects or a specific motive in the case. Her death left her seven children and numerous other family members searching for answers. The case remains open as investigators continue to seek information from the public.
