Asghar Kashanifar, 65, was found dead inside a Lakeview home in New Orleans on the afternoon of October 22, 2014, after a welfare check near Pontchartrain Boulevard and Harrison Avenue. Initial reports treated the incident as a shooting, but later information indicated he had been stabbed and investigators were examining signs he may have been beaten and tortured before his death.

Investigators say the scene suggested efforts to conceal the crime; one disturbing detail reported was his hands left in a bucket containing an acid-like substance. Police told investigators they did not believe the killing was random and were looking at the possibility the attacker knew Kashanifar well enough to enter without drawing attention. Crime Stoppers was listed as a tip line as detectives sought anyone who might explain who had been in the house and why.

Does anyone have information about Kashanifar, his circle, or movements in Lakeview around October 2014?
