On the morning of February 10, 2019, Phillip Thomas, a 51-year-old Black man, was found beneath the Interstate 10 overpass at Canal Street and North Claiborne Avenue in New Orleans suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. Emergency responders pronounced him dead at the scene after police arrived following an early-morning call.

Investigators with the New Orleans Police Department’s Homicide Unit later identified a suspect. On February 28, 2019, police announced an arrest warrant charging Waldale Stanley with second degree murder in connection with Thomas’s killing and said Stanley was also wanted in connection with vehicle burglaries reported two days before the shooting in the 900 block of Convention Center Boulevard.

If anyone knew Phillip Thomas, saw activity beneath the I-10 overpass that morning, or has information about Waldale Stanley’s whereabouts in February 2019, please share what is known with investigators.
