<title>07.20, 1020AM: Kerry Emery, 28</title>
<description>
        <![CDATA[
        The second shooting happened around 10:20 a.m. in the 3300 block of Clouet Street in the Ninth Ward.

Fifth District officers responded to a call of a shooting and found Kerry Emery, 28, lying in the street, suffering from apparent gunshot wounds to the torso.

John Gagliano, the New Orleans coroner's chief investigator, identified Emery, who died on the scene. He appears to have died from the gunshots, Gagliano said, but the coroner's office will know the exact cause of death after they perform an autopsy tomorrow.

Homicide Detective Nicholas Gernon is in charge of that investigation.

<description>
        <![CDATA[
        The first incident occurred at about 1:30 a.m., at the intersection of North Derbigny and Spain Streets. The man has been identified as a man living in New Orleans who coroner's investigators believe may have been from Latin America, said John Gagliano, the New Orleans coroner's chief investigator.

Gagliano declined to release the 41-year-old's identity because the coroner's office hasn't yet located his family, nor have they determined exactly where he was from.

According to investigators, Fifth District officers responded to a call of a shooting and found the man lying inside a vehicle, with apparent gunshot wounds to the torso.

He was pronounced dead on the scene.

Homicide Detective Regina Williams is in charge of the investigation.

<title>07.27, 719PM: Gerald Thorton, 20</title>
<description>
        <![CDATA[
        A 20-year-old man was murdered Sunday night on the lawn of an Algiers home in the 6300 block of Kingston Court, about a block away from where he lived, according to the New Orleans Police Department.

Gerald Thorton, identified by John Gagliano, the chief investigator for the New Orleans coroner's office, died of multiple gunshot wounds, said Garry Flot, an NOPD spokesman...

...Just 12 days before his death, Thorton had pled guilty to an illegal possession of a concealed weapon charge, stemming from a June 30 arrest, according to court records. Records show New Orleans police arrested him alongside a defendant who later pled guilty to possession of marijuana. Thorton's sentence was one year of inactive probation.

Thorton's family members declined to comment.

However, shortly after her family's refusal, a woman standing in the middle of the roadway broke the scene's quiet.

Her raised voice quivering, she asked, "What's the story going to be on? That all these black boys keep getting killed before they even turn 20?" 
-The Times-Picayune

Moments after the 7:19 p.m. shooting, a white SUV with tinted windows fled the scene, speeding down Kingston toward Sullen Street, Flot said.

<title>07.21, 1 PM: Lawrence Robinson, 21</title>
<description>
        <![CDATA[
        Robert Smith, of 1736 General Ogden St., is wanted for the second-degree murder of Lawrence Robinson, 21, according to NOPD spokeswoman Sabrina Richardson.

Smith is 5 feet, 9 inches tall and weighs approximately 150 pounds, Richardson said.

Detectives believe Smith fired multiple bullets into Robinson's chest and legs. Authorities found Robinson dead inside of the Happy Jack Social and Pleasure Club, 1418 South Rampart St., after responding to a call of gunshots fired just after 1 p.m. on Monday...

...Robinson's slaying followed a violent weekend, in which five other men fell victim to murder in five separate incidents from Friday to Sunday.

The Happy Jack Social and Pleasure Club is located in a building near the NOPD's 6th District station. Police said it appears to be a meeting room, but were trying to figure out the exact nature of the establishment, Assistant Superintendent Marlon Defillo said Monday.

<title>07.26, 930PM: Ryen J. Tate, 20</title>
<description>
        <![CDATA[
        Saturday night gunfire in Central City killed a 20-year-old man and injured two others, according to the New Orleans Police Department.

Ryen J. Tate died of multiple gunshot wounds at the scene of the 9:30 p.m. shooting in the 1300 block of South Saratoga Street, said John Gagliano, the New Orleans coroner's chief investigator. The two other unidentified victims were hospitalized, according to an NOPD statement. The victims had already left the scene when paramedics arrived, said Jeb Tate, a New Orleans EMS spokesman.

Ryen Tate was murdered in a sparsely-traveled block littered with crushed drink cans and other trash, about a minute drive from where authorities believed he was living...

...Tate had a criminal record: he spent time in criminal court battling charges stemming from drug-related arrests. On July 10, 2007, he received three concurrent prison sentences stemming from charges he was booked with after three separate arrests: charged with crack possession in December 2006; charged with marijuana possession in March 2007, alongside another defendant; and a distribution of crack charge one month later.

Tate, who would have turned 21 on Aug. 30, was sentenced to two years in prison for each of the crack-related charges and six months for the marijuana charge.

        Yen Nguyen, 14362 Dwyer Road, died after apparently "sustaining trauma to the body," according to Jonette Williams, New Orleans Police Department spokesman.

Officers responding to an 8:27 p.m. "female down" call found Nguyen in her home, lying face down in a "pool of blood," according to a police record. They concluded that someone had possibly dealt her "trauma to the head" and wrote up a report classifying the incident as a homicide...

..."She was a nice lady," said Thuc Nguyen, who attended Mary Queen of Vietnam Catholic Church with the deceased.

        1:An unidentified person fell victim to a murderer in the 9th Ward this morning. Police couldn't immediately provide details on the gender or age of the victim .The murder happened at approximately 1:32 a.m., on the corner of Lesseps and Marais streets.

That first sentence is, we think, what they call "passive voice" in English Class.
NOMB is sending over our copy of Elements of Style by Strunk and White as soon as we can find it.

2:A man was wounded by a New Orleans police officer after he apparently drew a gun during a traffic stop in 9th Ward Tuesday night. The officer, who was not identified by police, pulled over a car with at least four people inside during a traffic stop at Lesseps and Marais streets at about 8:30 p.m., according to a police spokesman. As the officer approached the car, the driver exited, drew a gun and aimed it at the officer, police said. The officer shot the driver in the shoulder. The other people in the car fled. One was captured and was being held by police. The other two remained at large. Police said narcotics were found in the vehicle.

Seems there was a good bit of action over on Lesseps and Marais last night, eh?

        <![CDATA[
        Five people were wounded in four separate shootings, one person was killed and nine armed robberies were reported across New Orleans over the three-day holiday weekend.

The busy weekend for police coincided with crowds in the city for the Essence Festival. But this year's event triggered fewer arrests than last year and the violent crimes reported were far from the Essence activities.

In all, 96 people were arrested in downtown New Orleans over the weekend, compared with 168 arrests over the same festival weekend last year, New Orleans police said in a news release. The fatal shooting occurred Sunday about 3:20 a.m. in the 2300 block of A.P. Tureaud Avenue in the 7th Ward, according to the NOPD, which released details Monday of the incidents.

Mervin Simon, 22, of New Orleans, had an altercation inside the Duck Off bar with two other men. The two suspects followed him outside and shot him as he walked toward his vehicle. He was shot in the chest.

<title>07.15, 422AM: Terrence "Sporty T" Vine</title>
<description>
        <![CDATA[
        Unknown gunmen toting an AK-47 opened fire on the exterior of a FEMA trailer in Gentilly this morning, murdering a former local rapper who was sleeping inside, according to the New Orleans Police Department.

Terence Vine, a rapper known to friends and fans as "Sporty T," was in bed when the gunmen sprayed his trailer with bullets, several of which struck his body, according to police. John Gagliano, chief investigator for the New Orleans coroner's office, said Vine was 39, but family members and Garry Flot, a police spokesman, said they believed Vine was 41...

...
At 4:22 a.m. Tuesday, NOPD received a "shots fired" call from 5150 Painters St., Flot said. When police officers and other emergency workers arrived, they found the exterior of Vine's trailer riddled with at least 28 bullet holes.

Inside, they found Vine wounded. Paramedics pronounced him dead at the scene, said Jeb Tate, a New Orleans EMS spokesman.

At least three rounds exited the other side of the trailer. One round lodged in the driver's seat of a black Nissan Pathfinder, parked in the driveway, that belonged to Vine's sister Michele Vine. Another blew out her rear driver's side tire, and another shattered the rear driver's side window.

Det. Michael S. McCleery is heading the investigation. Police had no motive, suspects or witnesses, according to Flot.

...Vine joined a rap trio known as the "Ninja Crew" when he was 14, recording three albums. He then signed as a solo artist with Big Boy Records and recorded more than a dozen albums with them, the sister said. Eight years ago, he left the label and started his own Sporty Records, where he recorded the last of his work.

Terence Vine was the second member of the Ninja Crew to be murdered, Sheila Vine said. The only surviving member, a tall, heavyset man identifying himself as "Gregory D," pulled up to the home this morning and embraced Sheila Vine as he said, "I'm sorry," through quiet sobs. He led her away from the trailer and later declined comment.

        "Now?" Langdon managed. "It's after midnight."
"Am I correct that you were scheduled to meet with the curator of the Louvre this evening?" Langdon felt a sudden urge of uneasiness. He and the revered curator Jacques Sauniere had been slated to meet for drinks after Langdon's lecture tonight, but Sauniere had never shown up. "Yes. How did you know that?" 
"We found your name in his daily planner."
"I trust nothing is wrong?"
The agent gave dire sigh and slid a Polaroid snapshot through the narrow opening in the door.
When Langdon saw the photo, his entire body went rigid.
"This photo was taken less than an hour ago. Inside the Louvre."

        New Orleans police booked a 22-year-old man with second-degree murder in connection with a Sunday night shooting in the 3100 block of Bruxelles Street.

Clarence Singleton was charged after being treated for a dog bite he received while running from police, according to NOPD spokesman Garry Flot.

Flot said a Third District officer on patrol at the intersection of Paris Avenue and North Broad Street heard shots being fired about 10:15 p.m. and drove in the direction of the gunfire, Flot said.

When the officer reached the 3100 block of Bruxelles, he saw a man with a handgun and told him to drop the weapon, the spokesman said.

The man, identified by police as Singleton, refused and pointed the weapon at the officer, at which time the officer then fired several rounds but missed, Flot said.

Singleton then ran into an alleyway of a home.

As S.W.A.T., canine and military units searched for him, they found an unidentified man who had been shot and was lying on the ground in the rear yard of a home with a handgun in his possession, Flot said.

Emergency medical technicians took the victim to a local hospital where he died. Officers also found a rifle on the scene, Flot said.

Shortly afterwards, the canine unit located Singleton hiding under a house in the 1700 block of Treasure Street. Singleton refused to surrender and the canine was sent in after him, Flot said.

Singleton was taken to a local hospital where he was treated for a dog bite to his leg. Flot said officers found a handgun on that scene.

        <![CDATA[
        New Orleans police found the bodies of two men early Sunday inside of a vehicle in the Gentilly area, police spokesman Garry Flot said.

The men had been shot to death, police said.

The New Orleans coroner's office was not able to positively establish the identities of the men as of Sunday night, said John Gagliano, the coroner's chief investigator. One has been described as a 24-year-old local man, Flot said.

Police responding to a call shortly after midnight found the two men, who were pronounced dead on the scene, Flot said.

Detectives determined that the incident originated at Hamburg and Lafreniere streets when two men approached the victims and began firing weapons, Flot said.

The victims' vehicle came to a stop eight blocks away at Mandolin and Hamburg streets, where police were called. The two gunmen fled the scene, he said.

<description>
        <![CDATA[
        someone intentionally ran over a 33-year-old Slidell resident with a car, killing him at the intersection of Pauger and North Rampart streets, authorities said.

Devin Legaux died on the scene from rollover-type injuries, said John Gagliano, the coroner's chief investigator. The New Orleans coroner's office classified the incident as a homicide.

Legaux had been walking with another man toward the intersection when an unknown driver struck the man and then headed northbound, police said.

Officers received the call about a man down near the intersection about 4:30 a.m. Legaux was alive when police arrived, but was later pronounced dead by emergency medical technicians.

Detectives are still gathering evidence on the suspect and the vehicle.

Legaux had a couple of run-ins with the law during his life.

He pled guilty to a charge of unauthorized entry of an inhabited dwelling and a charge of unauthorized use of a motor vehicle on Feb. 5, 1998, according to criminal court records.

On Sept. 12, 2004, the Slidell Police Department booked him with aggravated assault. No resolution for that case was available Sunday night.

Langston was three weeks shy of his 18th birthday.

Police said they responded to reports of gunshots around 1 p.m. and found Jones and Langston, each shot multiple times in the head and body, sitting in a vehicle on Bordeaux Street near Laurel Street.

Witnesses told detectives that two armed men wearing dark clothing and dreadlocks fled the scene on foot toward Annunciation Street.

        a 33-year-old man was shot in Treme and left to die on the gravel along the edge of North Roman Street. Gagliano identified the victim as Tyone Nions, 33, of New Orleans.

Nions was killed about 2:30 p.m.on North Roman Street, between Ursulines Avenue and Gov. Nicholls Street. Police said they had no suspects or motive.

Family members and neighbors were generally unwilling to speak with reporters about the incident or the victim, though some neighbors talked about the senselessness of the shooting.

"That dude didn't do nothing to nobody. He just drank his Red Bull," said one man who didn't want to be identified, receiving nods of approval from others who also declined to speak further about the victim or what happened.

<description>
        <![CDATA[
         At about noon on Wednesday, a 19-year-old man was gunned down in the 6th Ward at the same intersection where a man was killed over the weekend. The midday shootout marked the city's ninth killing in the past 10 days.

The man was shot several times in the body at the intersection of Gov. Nicholls and North Roman streets, said New Orleans Police Officer Garry Flot. The victim was later identified by the Orleans Parish Coroner's Office as Davon Mark Hunter, 19, of New Orleans.

Paramedics loaded him onto a stretcher and into an ambulance as stunned neighborhood residents looked on. Detectives scoured the intersection for bullet casings. The victim later died at University Hospital.

Hunter had been implicated and arrested in several violent crime cases, but each was dropped or refused by the district attorney's office, according to court records. He was arrested for shooting a neighborhood rival in Treme in 2006, booked in April 2007 with armed robbery and attempted murder, and booked a month later in a separate carjacking and battery case.

The scene of his killing is familiar to police.

Homicide detectives stood on the same block last weekend investigating the shooting death of a 33-year-old local man. Tyone Nions was shot at about 2:30 p.m. Saturday. The investigation into that slaying is ongoing.

<description>
        <![CDATA[
        A man was shot Wednesday night and found dead in a spot not far from an Algiers apartment complex where -- according to neighborhood residents -- shots were fired weeks aqo in the air and in the ground "just for fun."

The man, who did not have any identification on him, was pronounced dead at the scene, said Officer Jonette Williams, a New Orleans Police Department spokeswoman. The shooting occurred about 7:30 p.m., she said, and his body, with a gunshot wound to the torso, was found in the backyard of a home in the 1500 block of Murl Street.

Police late Wednesday had no motive or suspects.

Christopher Smith, 17, said he led police to the body who he said was Justin Laird.

Smith said he attended school with Laird's brother, at O. Perry Walker High School in Algiers.

Cedric Laird, who described himself as an uncle of the deceased, said Justin did not attend school, but the teenager spent a lot of time with his pregnant girlfriend and her 1-year-old daughter from another relationship.

Cedric Laird, said he was on his computer, when he heard several shots. Laird said he moved into the neighborhood in January and recently witnessed a small group of people in the Gilmore Park apartment complex, part of which fenced off by razor wire, shooting a gun in the air and in the ground "for no reason."

He said he called the police to report the incident, but the police didn't find the weapon.

"It's always been a problem with the guys who live there," Laird said.

        Just before daybreak Tuesday, an unidentified man was gunned down in the 9th Ward and left facedown on a gravel sidewalk to die.

When police arrived in the 1100 block of Bartholomew Street at about 6 a.m., they found the victim shot multiple times, according to department spokesman Garry Flot. Paramedics pronounced him dead on the scene.

The 25- to 30-year-old man, who police say was wearing a "golf-type pullover shirt," had nothing but a piece of paper in his jean pockets, making it impossible for authorities to immediately identify him, according to New Orleans coroner's chief investigator John Gagliano. The coroner may not be able to positively identify him until later this evening or tomorrow, he said.

Police were called to the scene after neighbors reported hearing up to six gunshots. The murder scene caught the attention of both sleepy-eyed adults and children, clad in uniforms, on their way to school.

<title>08.25, 100PM: Kenel Schneckenburg, 24</title>
<description>
        <![CDATA[
        On Sunday afternoon, two men opened fire and murdered a 24-year-old New Orleans man who was once accused of plotting to kill an 11-year-old.

Kenel K. Schneckenburg was driving north in the 1700 block of New Orleans Street in the 7th Ward about 1 p.m. when two men took aim at his car and fired several bullets, according to a New Orleans Police Department incident log.

One of the bullets hit Schneckenburg in the chest, said John Gagliano, the coroner's chief investigator. New Orleans EMS Paramedics later arrived and took him to University Hospital where he died during emergency surgery, Gagliano said.

According to court records, Schneckenburg spent two years in prison after pleading guilty to a 2004 crack possession charge.

Criminal court Judge Julian Parker also sentenced Schneckenburg to six months behind bars in 2006 for "improper language (and) harassment" during his role in a jailhouse plot to kill an 11-year-old, who was the only living eyewitness to a 2003 street killing in which the victim's sister was gunned down in a daytime ambush.

Schneckenburg has had other serious run-ins with the law, including arrests for murder that never resulted in charges.

In 2001, Schneckenburg was booked with two counts of first-degree murder for the fatal shootings of Reginald Foley, 16, and Julian Paige, 24, outside Paige's home on St. Ferdinand Street. Prosecutors under former District Attorney Harry Connick refused to charge him in either killing.

He was also indicted in 2007 for the murder of Jealine Brown. Police believe Brown was murdered on her bed by burglars who broke into her home the morning of Jan. 5, 2007, in search of money and drugs. The District Attorney's Office declined to prosecute the first-degree murder charge, according to court records.

According to an NOPD incident log, it appears McCann was inside a house on the block with his girlfriend. The girlfriend told authorties that McCann received a call from someone telling him to "come outside."

When he stepped out, McCann was gunned down, according to the incident log. Witnesses later told police that a white Lexus sped away from the area.

Emerency workers were alerted, and NOPD officers found the 32-year-old man lying on the sidewalk, his body shot several times, said NOPD spokeswoman Shereese Harper in a statement.

        Guy McEwen, 20, was a key witness in the Shavers murder case.  Though he testified he couldn't ID the shooter, he was riding in Shaver's car at the time- he kept his mouth shut.  A week after the acquittal of David Bonds in that murder, McEwen was shot at over 25 times and expired in the gutter.  He was 20 years old.<br/>Tags: murder<br /><br /><a href="http://www.platial.com/post/3052772">Map this on Platial</a><br />

<title>04.08:  Brandon Barnes, 19</title>
<description>
        <![CDATA[
        New Orleans police Friday arrested a 19-year-old man in connection with the fatal shooting of another 19-year-old on Tuesday in Mid-City.

Timothy Jackson was booked with first-degree murder in the death of Brandon Barnes.

Barnes of New Orleans and another 19-year-old man were shot Tuesday about 6:30 p.m. near Palmyra and South Rendon Streets.

Police found one victim at Palmyra and South Rendon, and the other around the corner in the 200 block of South Jefferson Davis Parkway.

Barnes died about a half hour later at University Hospital.

Detective Anthony Pardo determined that Jackson was responsible for the killing, said police spokeswoman Jonette Williams. After an arrest warrant was obtained, Jackson was arrested at Interstate 10 Service Road and North Hullen Street by New Orleans police and the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office.

Court records showed Jackson pleaded guilty on March 7 to possession of cocaine and was placed on probation for three years.

A day before he was killed, records showed, Barnes was in Criminal District Court in connection with a charge of carrying a concealed weapon, first offense. His trial was to have taken place on April 28.

<title>06.25, 6AM: Victor Russell</title>
<description>
        <![CDATA[
        A 48-year-old New Orleans man fell victim to a murderer in the Lower 9th Ward this morning, a spokesman for the New Orleans coroner's office said.

Victor Russell appears to have died from gunshot wounds, said John Gagliano, the coroner's chief investigator. Someone found Russell dead in the 6300 block of North Rampart Street and alerted the police, Gagliano said.

The New Orleans Police Department has not been reached for comment, but media reports indicate that there are no suspects in the murder.

Media reports also indicated that someone coming home from work found Russell dead inside his home.

Court records show Russell dabbled in the world of drugs.

He pled guilty to a 1989 possession of crack and received a one-year hard labor prison sentence in 1990.

Six years after receiving his first prison sentence, Russell received seven years of hard labor in prison after pleading guilty to a possession of crack charge stemming from a 1995 arrest.

In 2004, Russell pled guilty to a possession of cocaine charge, receiving a two-year prison sentence. A judge suspended it and placed him on active probation, court records show.

He was off probation by May 2007, court records show, but police arrested him once more in June 2007, booking him with a possession of crack charge in June 2007.

At the time authorities believe he was murdered, Russell was facing the charge stemming from that arrest in court.

Area residents reported hearing at least three shots. Gaines fell onto the pavement near an idling car in the middle of the block. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

He died from a gunshot wound to the head, New Orleans police spokeswoman Shereese Harper said. Police had no motives or suspects, she said, but a red compact car was seen leaving the scene.

Gaines pleaded guilty in 1997 to possession of crack cocaine, according to court records. He was arrested early last month for possession of a stolen vehicle and for being a felon with a firearm. He had an April court date pending.

Within minutes of the shooting, dozens of grieving people flocked to the site.

Several people, all wearing memorial R.I.P. shirts, said Gaines and some friends had attended the funeral of a relative earlier in the day. - from the Times-Picayune<br/>Tags: murder, UPT<br /><br /><a href="http://www.platial.com/post/3125006">Map this on Platial</a><br />

        Fourth District officers responded around 3:30 a.m. to a report of a shooting at L.B. Landry Avenue and De Armas Street, near the base of the Crescent City Connection bridge, police spokeswoman Sabrina Richardson said in a news release. They found two men, Michael Reed, 21, and Dalvin Rainey, 24, inside a car, both suffering from several bullet wounds.

The 21-year-old victim was pronounced dead at the scene, while the 24-year-old man died within hours at a local hospital, Richardson said. Their identities were not immediately released because their families had not yet been notified.

According to detectives, as the victims' vehicle entered the intersection, one or more shooters, possibly in a red vehicle, approached them and fired several times, then fled the scene, Richardson said.

        The mystery of what caused the death of a 46-year-old man and a 57-year-old woman found in the rear of a home at 3124 Orleans Avenue was solved today when an autopsy revealed the two died of stab wounds.

Kenneth Lewis and Brenda Joyce Jackson died of "multiple stab wounds" said John Gagliano, chief investigator for the coroner's office, which conducted the autopsy Thursday and officially identified the pair, whose deaths were "unclassified" Wednesday.

"There were more than 10 stab wounds in each body," Gagliano said.

Police Wednesday said the bodies were too badly decomposed to determine their identities or the cause of death.

Authorities closed a portion of Orleans Avenue from North Rendon Street to Lopez Street for hours Wednesday while New Orleans Police officers and FBI agents gathered evidence from the crime scene.

A son of Kenneth Lewis discovered the bodies in the home Wednesday and called police. Neighbors said the son was "screaming and wailing."

Relatives described Lewis as a "Wild Man" member of Fi Yi Yi Mardi Gras Indians who liked to sip his beer and chat. On Sundays, he'd gather with a tiny congregation at the Holy Aid Comfort Spiritual Church at 1644 Villere St. and lead the group in prayer.

Charles Andrews, a half-brother of Lewis, said Jackson was a short-order cook who his brother was with for years, but he knew little else about her.
