Corey Blue, 31, was killed by gun violence in New Orleans on Tuesday, January 18, 2011. Family and friends remembered him as a beautiful spirit after his death.

Investigators later tied his murder to a larger federal prosecution of the Ride or Die gang. In August 2015 a federal jury convicted three members of the gang, including Sidney Patterson, on charges that included racketeering, drug trafficking and several murders. Patterson was found guilty on seven counts that specifically named the murder of Corey Blue in aid of racketeering and causing death through the use of a firearm.

The convictions followed a collaborative investigation involving the New Orleans Police Department’s Multi-Agency Gang Unit and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Does anyone have memories of Corey or information about the events surrounding his death that could add to this record?
