From nola.com:
The family of Donald “Ducky” Adams has asked for tips from the public about the fatal shooting of the slain TSA agent and avid New Orleans Saints fan, and they’re increasing the reward for information, Crimestoppers GNO announced.
Adams was shot dead in Little Woods on Dec. 20 at age 29, New Orleans police said. His cousin Rashawn Johnson said Adams had been thrilled about the Saints’ top NFC standing and was looking forward to the playoffs when he was killed in his Briarwood Drive home. He attended most home and away games, she said.
Crimestoppers GNO announced Tuesday (March 26) a $7,000 reward for information leading to the arrest or indictment of a person or people responsible for Adams’ death. The $2,000 increase from a reward of $5,000 typically offered by Crimestoppers in homicide cases was provided by Adams’ family, Crimestoppers president and CEO Darlene Cusanza said.
Anyone who provides information to Crimestroppers can remain anonymous, the organization said, and would not have to testify to earn a reward. The reward expires March 25, 2021.
Adams grew up in New Orleans, graduating from McDonogh 35, and attended Southeastern Louisiana University, according to an online obituary. He worked for the Transportation Security Administration at the Louis Armstrong International Airport, where Johnson said his TSA colleagues hosted a ceremony last week to honor his memory.
WDSU reported Adams’ coworkers presented his family with a plaque at the March 18 ceremony, recognizing his service. Agents spoke of Adams’ “smile, positive attitude and humor,” the TV station reported. Adams’ mother, Rachelle Gilliard, told WDSU she prays about receiving an answer to who killed her son.
“Even though that will not bring him back, I know that will help,” she told the station.

Thoughts? As of this posting date (August 25th, 2019), Donald Adams' case is unfortunately still listed as an unsolved homicide on the Crime Stoppers of Greater New Orleans website: www.crimestoppersgno.org/cases/open-cases/donald-j-adams-jr
Unfortunately, there seems to be more questions than answers at this point and at the public information at least is vague but hopefully the reward money will inspire someone to do the right thing. (I hope someone does the right thing regardless of reward money).
