On a Sunday in New Orleans, 32-year-old Kaamilya Muhammad was enjoying a second line parade on September 5, 2010, when gunfire erupted. Amidst the chaos, she was tragically struck by a single bullet to the head and died at the scene. Four other people were also injured in the shooting.
Kaamilya, a native of California, had moved to New Orleans to be closer to her family. She was a mother to a young son, who was only two years old at the time of her death.
Known for her beautiful singing voice and her work as a caretaker for autistic children, her sudden and violent death was a profound loss to her family and community.
In the aftermath of the shooting, investigators found a handgun a block away from the scene. However, despite this discovery and appeals to the public for information, no suspects have ever been publicly identified or arrested in connection with the murder of Kaamilya Muhammad. The case remains unsolved, and her family continues to seek answers and justice for her death.
