Officials speak after deadly Treme shooting near Dooky Chase.

A murder victim fleeing a gunman ran into a historic New Orleans restaurant where he was killed and three tourist patrons wounded in its foyer.

The NOPD superintendent, in full damage control mode, made sure to state how 'safe' the city is despite epic evidence to the contrary.

She and the newly elected mayor cited how this was the first violent incident at the establishment in its eighty five year existence.

They painstakingly noted that family owners nor staff were targeted.

That means it weathered Jim Crow, World War Two, Civil Rights and Black Power movements, the 1980s crack cocaine invasion, Hurricane Katrina, and pandemic shutdowns, but not today's viral violent treason.

Quite an indictment of the 'low crime' myth recently touted by this police superintendent and mayor.

As I mused in a previous post, this occured outside of the French Quarter 'enhanced security zone' set up to secure Mardi Gras 2026, complete with Louisiana National Guardsmen and state troopers.

The first anniversary of 2025 New Orleans New Year terror attack is an apt time to consider 2026 risks.

My previous post wondered aloud that mass shootings would happen at establishments adjacent to that fortified downtown area- and it just did.

The malicious mindset of millennial and 'Gen Z' criminals hasn't changed here.

What changed is lack of respect for Black community icons like Dooky Chase, where Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr, as well as Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama have dined, among other dignitaries.

The New Year is starting off as suspected, with 'low crime' propaganda repudiated in the harshest possible manner.
