Oliver Joseph Brown Sr. was 29 and the father of six when he was killed in New Orleans on the evening of Friday, December 11, 2013. At approximately 9 p.m. he was found in front of a residence on the 7000 block of Oleander Street with multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators canvassed the neighborhood and collected evidence early in the inquiry, but the case later went cold. No arrests have been announced and the murder remains an open investigation. The Brown family suffered a second fatal shooting years later when one of Oliver Sr.’s children, Oliver Brown Jr., was killed on December 31, 2022; two men were arrested in that later case.

Are there any neighbors or witnesses who remember activity on Oleander Street that night who could help bring new leads?
