Ciaya Jordan Whetstone, 21, a student at the University of New Orleans, hit the town with her friends on Friday night and turned up dead at a hospital the following day.

According to Whetstone's friend, Juliet Orr, the 21-year-old attended the Carnival parades in Metairie on Friday but left the event at around 8.30pm.

Orr told NOLA that Whetstone then went to a bar with another group of friends, after which a friend brought the student to her boyfriend's in Harahan.

The friend said Whetstone decided to take an Uber in the middle of the night to check on her dog, Zoe, at her Lakeshore Drive apartment in Gentilly.
