On what would have been her murdered sister's 35th birthday,
Sully Simmons visited the young woman's grave. Hours later, Simmons, 33, was
shot dead in front of her 2-year-old son by unknown assailants in Mid-City. Sully,
too, will be buried at Providence Memorial Park and Mausoleum, her brother
Lionel Simmons said — reunited with the sister whose name Sully had tattooed on
her body: Coty Simmons. To this day, Coty's murder remains unsolved, Lionel
said. Police have not provided updates in Sully's killing. No arrests have been
announced. For Lionel, the slayings of his sisters make him question his
decision to stay in New Orleans. He worries for the safety of his children and
wants to remain strong for them, his siblings and his parents.
