Monroe Gardner, 45, was fatally shot on March 18, 2016, in New Orleans’ Lower 9th Ward. The New Orleans Police Department opened an investigation and at one point publicly sought persons of interest, but no descriptions, motive, or circumstances of the shooting were released.

Despite that early lead, the case has grown cold. There have been no public announcements of arrests or identified suspects, and no further details about who killed Gardner or why have been disclosed. His death remains unsolved and a loss for family and neighbors.

If anyone has information about Gardner, his movements that night, or the people who might have been involved, please come forward.
