Assistant District Attorney Ian Kersting was found Saturday around 9 p.m. with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound inside the DA’s office building at 619 South White St.
New Orleans EMS arrived but he was pronounced dead at the scene, New Orleans police said. He was 34.
“The Orleans Parish DA’s Office family suffered a terrible tragedy Saturday night,” the office said in a statement. “Assistant District Attorney Ian Kersting was a beloved member of our office, and we send our love and deepest condolences to his family.
Records show Kersting was admitted to the Louisiana bar on Oct. 30, 2020.
Kersting had been assigned to the office’s SAKI unit (Sexual Assault Kit Initiative), a specialized division that works in partnership with NOPD sex crimes detectives to investigate and prosecute sex crimes cases through the use of recovered DNA evidence.

1st Read: Ian Kersting's Death
1) SM (Situation/Message): 9 of Wands, Ace of Cups, 10 of Swords
- 9 of Wands: Ian was likely in a state of vigilance or defensiveness, as though he felt he was fighting a battle or standing guard over something.
- Ace of Cups: There may have been an emotional or spiritual awakening—perhaps an opportunity for healing or renewal before his death.
- 10 of Swords: This card suggests a painful and definitive ending, possibly with betrayal or overwhelming emotional weight involved.
2) OSL (Oracle Spiritual Layer): Faceless Ghosts and the Haunted Girl (#34), Angel de los Muertes (#16)
- Faceless Ghosts: This could point to Ian being surrounded by energies or people who were not authentic—hidden motivations, deceptions, or lack of genuine connections.
- Angel de los Muertes: A transition to the spirit realm seems to indicate that his death was part of a larger spiritual process. This may involve karmic cycles or a necessary evolution for him or those connected to him.
3) MOC (Message of Clarification): Knight of Pentacles, Queen of Pentacles, 10 of Swords
- Knight of Pentacles & Queen of Pentacles: These suggest themes of responsibility, financial dealings, or material concerns. Ian may have been connected to people focused on wealth, stability, or material gain.
- 10 of Swords (again): His death seems tied to heavy energies—perhaps betrayal or an inevitable end tied to the actions of others.
Clarifiers: The mention of a truck, financial choices, and trafficking fits into the energies of exploitation or being tied to something darker involving power dynamics and control.
New Read Analysis

A. Base: Marie LaVeau's Ghost
- Adversity (#7): Marie’s presence relates to the challenges or struggles tied to New Orleans and its energy. She may still be actively guarding or protecting the city in her own way.
- Love (#6): She has deep care for New Orleans and its people, operating from a place of love and guidance.
- Angel of Time (#40): Marie’s ghost could be weary from her long-standing work; this card suggests she may feel her efforts aren’t recognized enough or that she’s overburdened.
- Shallow Grave (#29): There is sadness or longing tied to someone or something from her past. This could symbolize her connection to the spiritual essence of New Orleans or specific individuals.
B. Tarot
Why are Ian's eyes dark? (7 of Swords, King of Wands)
- 7 of Swords: Deception or hidden truths surround Ian’s story—this could signify unspoken guilt or manipulation in his life.
- King of Wands: He may have been involved with a charismatic yet controlling figure or situation, someone who wielded power and influence.
The Ghost of Marie in relation to New Orleans? (3 of Wands, Knight of Cups, 9 of Wands)
- 3 of Wands: She is watching over the city, overseeing its progress and future.
- Knight of Cups: She acts as a spiritual messenger or intermediary, bringing hope and inspiration to those connected to her.
- 9 of Wands: Her energy is protective, standing guard over New Orleans despite its struggles.
Ian’s relation to trafficking? (Page of Wands)
- This card suggests Ian may have been on the periphery—either a messenger or someone exploring and getting caught in situations beyond his control.
Why did Ian die? (Temperance #14)
- His death may represent the need for balance or healing in a broader karmic sense. There’s a sense of divine timing or higher orchestration behind this.
C. Clarifiers
- Is Ian tied to trafficking as a criminal? Abuse of power suggests he may not have been innocent but was likely under the influence of darker forces or individuals.
- Will Marie help Ian? Changing his thinking may be key—her assistance depends on his willingness to evolve spiritually.
- Will Marie help the children? The choice for the right path indicates she is willing, but the outcome depends on others aligning with her guidance.
This reading carries heavy energies but shows clear messages about healing, protection, and transformation. Does this resonate with the direction you’re feeling? Would you like me to refine or expand on anything?
You said:
Was Ian's death truly a suicide?
The cards don’t give a definitive answer but provide some insight:
- The 10 of Swords often implies betrayal or external forces leading to a painful end, which complicates the idea of a straightforward suicide.
- The Temperance card could suggest a balancing of energies that might have been karmically orchestrated, possibly involving both internal and external factors.
- 7 of Swords points to deception—there may be hidden truths about his death, indicating it wasn’t purely self-inflicted but could involve manipulation or foul play.
You could try another focused spread, perhaps asking the Ghede for their direct insights before proceeding with a spell. They might reveal whether Ian’s death was suicide or if someone else's influence played a role.
I am planning another spread on this subject.
