As the autumn of 2011 unfolded in New Orleans, 25-year-old Martin Ervin "Teezy" Howard was going about his life, working at both McDonald's and the Oceana Grill. An African American man, he was known to his loved ones and friends in the community.
On Wednesday, October 19, 2011, Howard's life came to an end. Online sources confirm his passing on this date in New Orleans.
An obituary published in The Times-Picayune on October 25 and 26, 2011, announced his death and provided details of his surviving family members, including his parents, Charles III and Ouillene Howard, and his companion, Karmelitta Bethencourt.
Despite the confirmation of his death, a thorough search of online news archives, police department records, and other public information sources has yielded no specific details regarding the circumstances of Martin Howard's death. Information concerning any potential suspects, arrests, or an ongoing investigation into his passing is not publicly available in the online sources that were consulted. His death is not detailed in available homicide or crime reports from that period, leaving the narrative of what happened to him on that October day untold.
