NEW ORLEANS, LA : Krewe of Red Beans honors member killed in Esplanade Ave crash on Monday, 4th March 2019
At the start of their Lundi Gras march, the Krewe of Red Beans paid respects to one of their own.
The group’s founder Devin DuWolf, said Sherree Walls would have wanted the parade to go on without her.
“We’re trying to pay respects to her today and basically the day has kind of morphed into honoring her," DuWolf said. "This whole parade day is for her, basically.”
The 27-year-old was killed Saturday (March 4), in a crash on Esplanade Avenue that left another person dead and several others injured. New Orleans police said Tashonty Toney, 32, was speeding down Esplanade Avenue when he crashed into several people across a three-block span.
David Hynes, 31, was also killed.
Seven other people were also injured, many of whom were on bikes, including another Red Bean member.
“One of the women who was injured is also in our krewe, Gabriel Alcino. She’s recovering," DuWolf said. “We’re just thankful that she was not gravely injured in this tragedy. Certainly our thoughts and prayers are mainly on Sharree today.”
