On Friday, a well-known New Orleans comedian was shot dead while sitting in his car outside a grocery store.
Brandon "Boogie B" Montrell was shot multiple times in his car in the Warehouse District at around 4 p.m. on Friday.
New Orleans police said Montrell did not appear to be the intended target of two unidentified shooting suspects, one of whom fled the scene in a gray or silver sedan, Fox 8 reported.
"My son was not just the victim of a stray bullet," Montrell's mother Sherilyn Price said Saturday in a statement released by family attorney Juan LaFonta.
