James Wakefield, a 58-year-old White man from New Orleans, is listed in the city’s public cold-case files as a murder victim. The entry is minimal: his name, the classification of murder, and the New Orleans Police Department named as the investigating agency.

No suspect names, arrests, charges, trials, convictions, or sentences are linked to his cold-case listing in the accessible material. If anyone knew James, saw him around the time he was killed, or has information that could help investigators, contact the New Orleans Police Department.
