In the late morning of Monday, April 2, 2012, the life of 23-year-old Constance Elena Streho was tragically cut short in a brazen shooting in New Orleans. Streho, a female resident of Gretna, was seated in her Lincoln Town Car in the 3100 block of Lausat Place when an unknown assailant, or assailants, opened fire just after 11 a.m., striking her multiple times.
The young woman succumbed to her injuries at the scene of the attack.
Constance, known to some by the nickname 'Phat,' was remembered in her obituary as a life ended far too soon. Her death left a void in the lives of her parents, siblings, grandparents, and a wide circle of aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends. The sudden and violent nature of her passing sent ripples of grief through her community, as loved ones struggled to comprehend the senseless act that had taken her from them.
In the immediate aftermath of the shooting, the New Orleans Police Department launched a homicide investigation. Despite their efforts, public appeals for information, and the passage of time, details regarding a motive for the shooting or the identification of any suspects have remained elusive. Information regarding any arrests, charges, or convictions in connection with the murder of Constance Streho is not publicly available, leaving her case unresolved. The quest for justice for Constance and her family continues, her memory preserved by those who knew and loved her.
