Nelson Booker, a 42-year-old African American man, was shot and killed in New Orleans in the early morning of Friday, August 13, 2010. Police responded about 5 a.m. to reports of a shooting at the intersection of South Liberty and Terpsichore streets and found Booker lying wounded between a stop sign and a light pole in front of a green shotgun-style house. He was bleeding from gunshot injuries and was pronounced dead.

The New Orleans Police Department handled the investigation, and there have been no announcements identifying suspects or any arrests. Booker’s death was noted in an obituary and in a yearlong chronicle of the city’s homicides, but the case appears to remain unresolved.

If anyone knew Nelson Booker or witnessed the shooting at South Liberty and Terpsichore on August 13, 2010, please come forward with information.
