Otis “OG” Sidney Gray, a 49-year-old African American male, died in New Orleans, Louisiana, though the exact year of his death is inconsistent across different sources. His obituary indicates he passed away on March 4, 2010, while another source lists the date as March 4, 2000. Gray was the son of L.V. Gray and the late R.C. Gray, Sr., and was the devoted companion of Linda Diane France Winchester.
His death is counted among the many lives lost to gun violence in the city.
Despite being a victim of a violent act, publicly available information does not offer specific details regarding the circumstances of his death. There are no readily accessible records of any arrests made or suspects identified in connection with his passing. The lack of information makes it difficult to form a complete picture of any criminal investigation that may have taken place.
While the official narrative of the events leading to his death remains untold in public records, his memory is kept alive by those who knew and loved him. Friends and family have shared condolences and lit candles in his remembrance, indicating that he was a valued member of his community whose absence was deeply felt. Funeral services were held at Triumph Missionary Baptist Church, and he was interred at Paradise Garden Cemetery in West Memphis, Arkansas.
