On the evening of July 19, 2010, 22-year-old Leo Harmon Vanderhorst Jr. was found inside his red pickup truck in the 1900 block of North Claiborne Avenue in New Orleans with multiple gunshot wounds. Authorities arrived around 10 p.m., but his injuries proved fatal. Leo was the son of Leo Harmon Vanderhorst Sr. and Shermaine T. Marshall and was remembered by family as a cherished brother to Jermaine Thomas and Jasmaine Vanderhorst.

Investigators pursued leads in the days and weeks afterward, but information about suspects or a motive was not released publicly. The case later went cold, and there are no public reports of arrests in connection with his murder. The family’s grief has been compounded by the lack of closure in an unsolved killing.

If anyone knew Leo or saw activity on North Claiborne Avenue that night, please share what you know with investigators.
