28 year old deacon murdered in Walgreens Drive-Thru On a Thursday afternoon, June 3, 2010, Juan Kenta Bolton, a 28-year-old Black man, was in the drive-thru of a Walgreens on Elysian Fields Avenue in New Orleans. It was 4:33 PM when the unexpected happened; he was shot in the chest. Emergency services transported him to a nearby hospital, but his injuries proved to be fatal, and he died later that day.
Known to his loved ones as 'Chip' or 'Toot-Toot,' Juan was not only a son and a brother but also served as a deacon at New Home
Ministries. Those who knew him consistently remembered him as a great person with a beautiful smile. His sudden and violent death left his family and community in mourning. He was laid to rest on June 11, 2010.
In the years that have followed, the investigation into Juan Bolton's murder has remained open. Law enforcement has not publicly identified any suspects or made any arrests in connection with his killing. The motive behind the shooting also remains unclear to investigators. The case is now considered a cold case, and the search for those responsible for his death continues.
