Melvin Lebranch III was shot and killed in New Orleans in late August 2010, just three days before his younger brother's 18th birthday. That brother is the singer August Alsina, who has talked publicly about how much the loss shaped him.

Melvin was a father of three. No suspect has ever been publicly identified, no motive released, and no arrest made.

Having a famous family member gets a case attention, but it doesn't always get it solved. If you knew Melvin, or know what happened that night, NOPD and Crimestoppers are still the ones to tell.
