Stanley Floyd Covington, a 54-year-old African American man, was fatally shot on the night of November 18, 2013, in New Orleans’ 7th Ward. At about 10:00 p.m. he was struck by a single bullet to the chest in the 2500 block of St. Anthony Street, was taken to a nearby hospital, and died at approximately 11:40 p.m., the Orleans Parish Coroner’s Office confirmed.

John Gagliano, chief investigator for the Coroner’s Office, identified Covington and listed the cause of death as a single gunshot wound to the chest. Initial reports left key questions unanswered: what prompted the shooting, whether Covington knew the shooter, whether a robbery or personal dispute was involved, and whether anyone witnessed the gunfire or could describe a suspect.

The New Orleans Police Department treated the incident as a homicide investigation, but reporting does not identify a suspect or document any arrest, charges, trial, or conviction connected to his death. Does anyone have information about that night on St. Anthony Street or about Stanley Covington that could help investigators or his family?
