An 18-year-old man found stuffed in the trunk of a bloody car abandoned in a Slidell wooded area on Sunday morning (Dec. 15) was identified by the Orleans Parish coroner as Kenneth Young.
Young was shot near the intersection of Peoples and Jasmine streets in Gentilly and died from several gunshot wounds to the head, said John Gagliano, chief investigator at the Orleans Parish coroner's office.
NOPD spokesman officer Garry Flot declined to say when the shooting happened, citing the ongoing investigation.
