An argument at a corner store in the Leonidas neighborhood of New Orleans on May 24, 2018, escalated into a fatal shooting that claimed the life of Jarivas Jarrow, a male victim. The incident unfolded in front of Jarrow's girlfriend and their two young sons.
The perpetrator, Darnell Braud, was seen arguing with Jarrow moments before he opened fire. Following the altercation, Braud, who was 29 years old at the time, shot Jarrow.
The motive for the argument and subsequent shooting was not detailed in the available information.
Braud was later apprehended and faced legal proceedings for his role in Jarrow's death. In February 2020, he was handed a 25-year prison sentence for the murder. This sentence was part of a larger, 140-year sentence for Braud, who had two prior manslaughter convictions from 2007 and 2017. The judge in the case, Orleans Parish Criminal District Court Judge Franz Zibilich, stipulated that Braud would not be eligible for early release due to his history of violent offenses.
