In the early morning hours of June 9, 2016, the life of 31-year-old Frank 'B.J.' Holden, a male, was irrevocably altered on Augusta Street in Kenner, Louisiana. Responding to multiple reports of a shooting shortly after 12:30 a.m., Kenner Police officers arrived at the 2700 block to find a grim scene. Holden had sustained multiple gunshot wounds and was in critical condition.
He was rushed to University Medical Center for emergency treatment.
Despite the efforts of medical professionals, Holden succumbed to his injuries five days later, on June 14, 2016. The initial shooting incident was then reclassified as a homicide, prompting a full investigation by the Kenner Police Department. In the immediate aftermath, authorities appealed to the public for any information that could lead to the identification and apprehension of the person or persons responsible for Holden's death.
As of today, the case of Frank 'B.J.' Holden's murder remains unsolved. No arrests have been made, and no suspects have been publicly identified. The investigation is still considered open, and authorities continue to seek information that could bring closure to Holden's family and community. Organizations such as Crimestoppers have offered rewards for any tips that lead to an arrest and indictment in connection with the fatal shooting. The lack of resolution leaves a painful void for those who knew and loved the young father and aspiring rapper.
