Several passers-by stopped to acknowledge the memorial and pay their respects.
“You see stuff like that and that’s painful. You go around New Orleans and there’s a few spots on the neutral ground and stuff like that,” said Christopher Magee. “It shows you somebody has passed and whoever did, they had a lot of love for somebody.”
Magee says he frequents that area near the river and is calling for an end to the killings.
“It’s a lot of danger in New Orleans. Everywhere there’s danger,” Magee said. “If you’ve been looking at the news, they got stuff happening to older people. They ain’t doing nothing. They ain’t got nothing to do with nothing. I wouldn’t blame it on the parade, I would just blame it on another bad incident happening on another day.”
The NOPD says the victim was a local. The investigation is ongoing.
