Kendall Michael Feliciana, a 38-year-old man from New Orleans, died on June 27, 2013, after gunfire erupted in the St. Roch neighborhood. He was identified as Black.
The shooting was described by police as a sudden burst of violence that left one person dead and another man wounded in the leg when bullets tore through the area. Investigators said the gunman opened fire with an intended target in mind, and in the chaos of those seconds, Feliciana was struck as the shots landed and the
scene turned into a scramble for cover and help.
In the days that followed, public reporting about the case focused on the immediate facts of the crossfire and the injury to the second victim, while the details of who fired the shots and why remained unclear in the information that was made widely available online. In the sources reviewed, no suspect was publicly named and no arrest, charge, trial, or conviction was reported in connection with Feliciana’s death.
Afterward, Feliciana’s death notice appeared in The Times-Picayune, with services handled through Heritage Funeral Directors in New Orleans, placing his passing into the quieter rituals that come after a violent night—family, mourning, and the attempt to make sense of a life ended too abruptly.
