In the early morning hours of Friday, March 11, 2016, a tragic and violent event unfolded in the Gentilly neighborhood of New Orleans, resulting in the death of 30-year-old Shedric Morgan. The incident, which left the community in shock, occurred near the intersection of Lafreniere and Hamburg streets.
Shedric Morgan, a male resident of New Orleans, was in his vehicle with his two infant twin sons when the fatal encounter began.
For reasons that remain unclear from available reports, Morgan fled from his car on foot. It was then that he was mercilessly gunned down, suffering multiple gunshot wounds. The brazen attack left him fatally injured, and he was pronounced dead at the scene. Miraculously, his two baby boys, who remained in the vehicle during the horrific event, were found to be physically unharmed. They were later safely reunited with other family members.
The New Orleans Police Department responded to the scene and initiated a homicide investigation. However, despite the shocking nature of the crime, information regarding any motive, the identification of a suspect or suspects, or any subsequent arrests has not been made publicly available in the news reports following the incident. The case, as far as public records indicate, remains an unsolved tragedy, leaving a family to grapple with the sudden and violent loss of a young father.
