HE WAS ABOUT TO HEAD TO A PARTY, A BIRTHDAY PARTY ON THE CORNER OVER THERE, HERE IN THE 3100 BLOCK OF SAINT ROCH AVENUE. WHEN I’M TOLD THAT HE STOPPED. TO GREET A FEMALE FRIEND. APPARENTLY THE GUY THAT WAS IN THE CAR IN HER PASSENGER SEAT WAS OFFENDED. AND THEY’RE SAYING SOMETHING ABOUT THE WAY THAT MY SON LOOKED AT HIM THAT HE DIDN’T APPRECIATE IT. WITNESSES TOLD BRANDON HAYWARD’S MOM, CHARLOTTE HAYWARD. THE TWO GOT INTO AN ARGUMENT IN THIS NEUTRAL GROUND AREA. THEY TUSSLED AND THEN THE GUY, BRANDON, TURNS TO GO AWAY AND THE GUY GOES TO THE CAR AND GETS A GUN AND SHOOTS HIM IN THE BACK. WITNESSES SAY HAYWARD DIED ON SCENE AS NEW ORLEANS POLICE RUSHED TO RESPOND. HAYWARD SAYS DAYS LATER AND HER OTHER CHILDREN, INCLUDING BRANDON’S TWIN BROTHER, WHO IS ALSO HIS BEST FRIEND, ARE STILL TRYING TO COME TO GRIPS THIS IS DEVASTATING, BUT IT’S VERY QUESTIONING BECAUSE WE’RE WE’RE THINKING THAT MORE IS BEHIND THIS THAN WHAT WE HAVE GATHERED SO FAR. WE’RE TOLD BRANDON WAS ALSO A MUSICIAN AND HAD BEEN WORKING ALONGSIDE HIS TWIN BROTHER, LAYING CONCRETE FOR MORE THAN A DECADE. BRANDON’S MOM SAYS HE WAS ALSO THE PERFECTIONIST AND OPTIMIST OF THE FAMILY, HELPING OUT WITH HER CATERING BUSINESS. THEY’D BEEN DOING SECOND LINES IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA.
