On a warm New Orleans afternoon, Kimberly Knockum, a 49-year-old African American woman, was enjoying the sun on her front porch on November 6, 2020. Tragically, her life was cut short when she became an innocent victim of gun violence that erupted at her home.
The incident left her wife, Rochelle Hillie, to raise their 9-year-old son, Elijah, alone, facing the profound emotional and financial hardships that followed such a sudden and violent loss.
The community and her family were deeply shaken by her untimely passing. In the wake of her death, a memorial fund was established to offer support to her grieving wife and young son.
As of the latest available information, the investigation into Kimberly Knockum's death is still ongoing. Authorities have not yet publicly identified any suspects, and no arrests have been made in connection with the shooting. The case remains an open and active investigation as law enforcement continues to seek justice for Kimberly and her family.
