Ahsan Khan Ali, a 38-year-old taxi driver of Pakistani origin, was shot to death in New Orleans in the early morning of April 28, 2017. He had picked up a fare in the French Quarter and was due to fly to Pakistan two days later to visit his wife, his 5-year-old son, and an 8-month-old daughter he had not yet met. His body was found just before 8 a.m. along a remote stretch of Michoud Boulevard near Interstate-10 in New Orleans East. His taxi was recovered later that morning, partially burned, in the Desire neighborhood near Florida Avenue and Piety Street.

An Orleans Parish special grand jury indicted Tyrone Jones on second-degree murder, armed robbery with a firearm, conspiracy to commit armed robbery, obstruction of justice, and conspiracy to obstruct justice in a homicide investigation. The indictment notes Jones was 25 and already in custody at the Allen Correctional Center on a separate sentence; bond in the Ali case was set at $2 million. Authorities say they believe others were involved and that the investigation into additional suspects remains ongoing.

Does anyone have information about Ali’s movements in the French Quarter that morning or about activity around Michoud Boulevard and the Desire neighborhood that could help investigators?
