On March 24, 2013, 19-year-old Gregory Charles ’G-Man’ Hills was found face down in the middle of the 3500 block of Audubon Court in Gert Town, New Orleans. He had been shot once and was pronounced dead at the scene. Gregory is survived by his mother, two sisters, and four brothers.

At about the same time, a second scene appeared a few blocks away at Broadway Street and Washington Avenue. Gregory’s stepfather, Lawrence Brown, was found inside his red pickup truck with several gunshot wounds; he apparently drove a short distance before losing consciousness and crashing into a local business. He also died of his injuries.

The near-simultaneous shootings and close locations led investigators to believe the two deaths were connected. The case remains open and no arrests have been announced, leaving the family without answers.

If anyone in Gert Town that night saw either vehicle or has information about who might have wanted to harm Gregory Hills or Lawrence Brown, please come forward.
