On the evening of January 9, 2017, gunfire in the Milneburg neighborhood of New Orleans left 27-year-old Alfred Hamilton dead and another man wounded. Hamilton, a Grambling State University graduate who worked as a postal carrier, was described by people who knew him as warm-hearted, selfless and always smiling.

The New Orleans Police Department opened an investigation that identified a suspect, Carlos Heard. Heard was arrested and charged with Hamilton’s murder; the case went forward to trial where evidence and witness testimony were presented and jurors reached a verdict finding Heard guilty.

If anyone in Milneburg that night saw something that hasn’t yet been shared with investigators, please come forward with what was observed.
