On May 07, 2010, in the historic Tremé neighborhood, he was shot in the 1500 block of Basin Street, at the intersection with North Villere Street. The gunshot wound to his neck proved to be fatal, and he died from the complications of this violent act.
Details surrounding the circumstances of the shooting remain scarce in publicly available records.
Information regarding the motive behind the attack or a description of any potential assailant has not been released.

As a result, the shooting of Alvin Black is one of many unsolved homicides that have occurred in the city. Without any witnesses coming forward or new evidence emerging, the quest for justice for Alvin Black and his loved ones remains unanswered, and the identity of the person or persons responsible for his death is unknown.
