In the spring of 2018, a violent outburst in the Algiers neighborhood of New Orleans claimed the life of 33-year-old Carlos Rodrique. On the evening of April 4th, gunfire erupted in the 3300 block of Garden Oaks Drive, resulting in a quadruple shooting that left two men dead and two others, a woman and a 17-month-old child, wounded. Rodrique was one of the two fatal victims in the incident.
According to initial reports from the New Orleans Police Department, the shooting occurred at
approximately 6:43 p.m. When officers arrived at the scene, they discovered one of the victims, 25-year-old Ryan Massey. Rodrique, along with the injured woman and child, were transported to a local hospital by private means, where he ultimately succumbed to his injuries.
In the immediate aftermath of the shooting, investigators were working to piece together the events that led to the violence and to identify the individual or individuals responsible. Authorities appealed to the public for any information that could lead to arrests in the case. The motive for the shooting was not immediately clear to law enforcement.
Despite the initial investigation and public pleas for information, details regarding any suspects or arrests in the murders of Carlos Rodrique and Ryan Massey have not been made publicly available in subsequent online reports. The case remains a painful memory for the families of the victims and the Algiers community, with the circumstances surrounding their deaths still largely unresolved in the public record.
