The young man killed in Sunday’s early morning shooting has been identified as 21-year-old Julian Comeaux. Julian was preparing to leave for the Navy this Friday and had never been in trouble. His tragic death leaves his parents mourning the loss of their only son.

The shooting happened around 1 AM on Bagby Street near Hadley St. Julian and friends/loved ones confronted a man they caught trying to break into one of their vehicles. The suspect pulled a gun and opened fire, hitting one man in the arm and Julian in the upper body before fleeing the scene.

HPD has now released a description of the suspect. He is described as a male with dreadlocks with gold tips. He was seen wearing a black hoodie and Yeezy slides, and left one of his slides behind at the crime scene. The investigation is ongoing.
