On July 12, 2018, 47-year-old Chad Payne of Westwego, Louisiana, was found at a baseball field in nearby Avondale with multiple gunshot wounds to his head and body. He died from those injuries. Payne worked in construction in New Orleans and was remembered by family as a loving father to his only son and as a funny, loving man with a loud personality described as a gentle giant.

The Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office investigated and identified a suspect named Collins. Collins was arrested and charged with second-degree murder, being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm, and possession of marijuana. Payne’s family later filed a civil lawsuit against Collins seeking damages for the loss and its financial and emotional effects.

Are there neighbors, coworkers, or anyone who knew Chad who can share details about his life or the day he went missing?
