Dooky Chase Reopens After Fatal Targeted Shooting With Gunman Still at Large

A $13,500 reward seeks the gunman in what police describe as a retaliatory shooting.

Overview

  • Police identified the slain victim as 19-year-old Kareem Harris, whom investigators say was the intended target.
  • Three women visiting the city were wounded in the foyer: one Los Angeles tourist remains in the trauma ICU after multiple surgeries, her friend is stable, and a Florida visitor was treated and released.
  • Authorities say the gunfire began outside and continued inside the small entryway as Harris fled, and they emphasize the restaurant itself was not the target.
  • Crimestoppers Greater New Orleans increased the reward to $13,500 for information, and police are soliciting surveillance footage and tips.
  • The historic restaurant resumed service with a prayer vigil attended by city leaders as the search for the shooter continues.
