In the Lower Ninth Ward of New Orleans on the evening of Saturday, September 27, 2014, the life of 26-year-old Brishen Ashon Dorsey was tragically cut short. Having just arrived in the city a mere two days prior, Brishen was found by authorities at 6:20 p.m. having sustained multiple gunshot wounds.
Originally from New Orleans, Brishen had relocated to Shreveport a few months earlier to be with his girlfriend after being laid off from his construction job.
His return to his hometown was tragically brief. As word of the shooting spread through his family, they gathered near the scene, their worst fears confirmed when the coroner addressed them later that evening. A friend of Brishen's uncle reported hearing a volley of gunshots and mentioned that it was Brishen who had been shot.
In the wake of the shooting, investigators began their work, seeking to uncover both the motive behind the violence and the individuals responsible. Despite their efforts, no arrests have been made in connection with the murder of Brishen Dorsey. The case remains an open investigation, with authorities still searching for possible suspects and a reason for the young man's untimely death.
