Mourners remembered Bourbon Street shooting victim Julie Couvillon with a prayer walk, service and balloon release at Mount Carmel Academy, Couvillon’s alma mater.

Couvillon, a 36-year-old mother and longtime nurse at Ochsner Health System, was walking in the 400 block of Bourbon Street early Feb. 24 when gunfire broke out during a scuffle involving a security guard and a man being removed from Willie’s Chicken Shack. Couvillon was fatally wounded by stray gunfire. Louis Barnes, 37, has been arrested in the case.

During Sunday’s event, participants wrote words of inspiration on pink balloons, releasing 36 of them in honor of Couvillon’s 36 years of life. They also released more than 60 white balloons in her memory.

Couvillon graduated from Mount Carmel in 2000 and went on to earn a nursing degree from Our Lady of Holy Cross College while raising her daughter, now age 19, according to her obituary. Ochsner Health System, for which Couvillon worked for 13 years, described her as “a beloved nurse who dedicated her life to caring for others.”
