Wendy Byrne was a well-known and beloved bartender and French Quarter resident. She was walking with a friend in the Quarter Jan. 17th 2009 near the intersection of Dauphine and Gov. Nicholls when three teenage boys attempted to rob her. They shot her and fled without the money.
This was the sixth murder victim of our new year.

I doubt anyone was deliberately trying to flaunt her family's wishes. This wasn't something where everyone got a set of detailed instructions. Just lots of different people who cared for Wendy paying tribute to her in their own ways.
