This has gone quiet, and it is shocking how 11 injured in a shooting can just be under reported

It’s New Orleans. I’m going to assume the victims were black and the news corporations are going to waste no more time discussing them.

From the articles, it sounds like there was an altercation between a group of people at a party/gathering and people started shooting. I would guess that the people involved aren't going to talk and other bystanders/witnesses didn't see enough or also aren't talking. Also, since it was potentially related to a gathering of people in town for a historically black college football game and no one died, it draws less press attention.

There was a local murder that sounds like similar circumstances where a man was killed in a party where there were 100+ people, yet no one would talk so it remains unsolved.

Not all 100 people saw it, but there were a group of roughly that many outside a club for a birthday. A fight broke out, and one man was shot. Police got an initial description, but no one talked after that to identify the shooter. It's been an unsolved case for 7-8 years.
