In the pre-dawn hours of Thanksgiving Day 2006, the life of Karry Daily was tragically cut short on the streets of New Orleans. The city, still bearing the scars of Hurricane Katrina from the year prior, was once again the scene of sorrow and violence. On November 23rd, at approximately midnight, the sound of gunfire echoed near the intersection of Pear and General Ogden streets in the Hollygrove neighborhood. When the noise subsided and authorities arrived, they discovered a grim tableau.
Karry Daily was found on the sidewalk, having sustained multiple gunshot wounds.
The initial investigation revealed that this was not a solitary act of violence. Another man, Brian Marcelin, was also shot at the same location. While Daily was pronounced dead at the scene, Marcelin was rushed to a nearby hospital, where he too succumbed to his injuries. The discovery of a gun next to Karry Daily's body added a layer of complexity to the unfolding investigation, leaving detectives to piece together the events that led to the double homicide. The case, however, proved to be a difficult one to crack.
Years have stretched into more than a decade, yet the questions surrounding the deaths of Karry Daily and Brian Marcelin remain unanswered. Despite the passage of time, the case is still considered open, a cold case that continues to haunt the city of New Orleans. Law enforcement has yet to publicly identify any suspects or make any arrests in connection with the murders. With no new leads, the families of the victims are left without closure, and the city is left with the memory of a violent Thanksgiving that claimed two lives. Crimestoppers continues to offer a reward for any information that could lead to a breakthrough in this long-unsolved case.
