Kelvin Stevenson was 26 when he was shot and killed on the evening of April 12, 2017, just blocks from his family’s home in the Milan neighborhood of New Orleans. He was sitting in his vehicle at the corner of Peniston and Freret streets after saying he would return home after buying a cigarette; police found him inside the car with gunshot wounds and he later died at a nearby hospital.

Nearly a week later investigators identified a red Toyota Rav-4 as a suspect vehicle. The Rav-4 was traced to 58-year-old Gerald Oster, Jr., who had been reported missing by his family weeks earlier and whose body had been at the Orleans Parish Coroner’s Office since late March, his death preliminarily attributed to natural causes. The Rav-4 was found in the 7th Ward the night Stevenson was killed; it was riddled with bullet holes, several shell casings were inside, and some evidence handling issues occurred before the New Orleans Police Department took possession and linked the vehicle to Stevenson’s homicide investigation.

Who has information that could move this investigation forward?
