In the early hours of a Tuesday in May 2015, the life of 16-year-old Terrance Williams, a Black male, was tragically cut short. The young man, a student at Carver Senior High School, was in New Orleans East on May 26th when gunfire erupted, forever altering the lives of several families.
Terrance was not the only person struck by the hail of bullets. When the shooting subsided, another man, 26-year-old Darnell Cheneau, also lay dead.
The violence of that night extended further, leaving two other individuals wounded, their lives scarred by the traumatic event.
In the aftermath, the community was left to grapple with the sudden and senseless loss of two of its own. Details surrounding the circumstances of the shooting were not readily made public. Information regarding any potential suspects or arrests in the case has remained elusive in the public record. The investigation into the deaths of Terrance Williams and Darnell Cheneau has not yielded any publicly announced breakthroughs, leaving a painful void for their loved ones and a community still searching for answers and justice.
