Mohamed Sead Hussain, 29, was one of two men found shot to death in the back of an abandoned car in a rural area of St. Helena Parish, Louisiana. The bodies of Hussain and 23-year-old Dedrick Dewayne Williams were discovered on June 1, 2017; both had been shot multiple times.

Investigators focused on William Bottoms Jr., 29, and his then-girlfriend Megan Marie Gaylord. Gaylord later testified that the four had been using drugs in Gaylord’s car when Bottoms became paranoid and shot Hussain and Williams in the back seat. According to that account, Gaylord drove to Bottoms’ residence afterward, where Bottoms retrieved bleach and a sheet; the bleach was used in an attempt to destroy evidence and the sheet to cover the victims, and the car was later abandoned where the bodies were found.

Bottoms was arrested and charged with two counts of second-degree murder. Gaylord, who had initially been arrested as an accessory after the fact, testified for the prosecution. A jury found Bottoms guilty in August 2019. Did anyone who knew Mohamed or where he spent time around Baker see him in late May 2017?
