On a Sunday evening in New Orleans, Louisiana, on November 13, 2011, Ellijah Grant, a 23-year-old Black / African American male, was with others watching the New Orleans Saints play an overtime game. During a commercial break, he was standing outside when a car drove by and shots were fired into the crowd. Ellijah Grant was struck by the gunfire and tragically lost his life.
Following the shooting, the New Orleans Police Department began an investigation into the homicide.
However, details regarding the investigation, including any potential leads, descriptions of a suspect or suspects, or the vehicle involved, have not been made publicly available in the years since the incident.
Despite the passage of time, there have been no announced arrests in connection with the murder of Ellijah Grant. The case remains unresolved, and information about who may have been responsible for the drive-by shooting that ended his life is not publicly known. The lack of resolution leaves a painful void for the family and friends of the young father, who was remembered in his obituary as a devoted parent to his four children.
