On July 10, 2016, 39-year-old Toreo Turk Thompson was found shot to death inside his Hammond, Louisiana, home. His 65-year-old aunt, Beverly Thompson, known as Cherokee, was also found fatally shot and seated in her favorite chair outside the residence. Both deaths were described as homicides that deeply affected their close-knit neighborhood.

Toreo was remembered as a devoted father of two sons, with a third child expected; Beverly was known for her kindness and helpfulness. Investigators linked an armed robbery that occurred about two hours before the killings to the case. Information from the robbery victim led to the arrest of 20-year-old Elijah Walker; Walker then provided information implicating 26-year-old Raheem Doby and 23-year-old Jerald Fontenberry. All three were charged with one count of armed robbery and two counts of first-degree homicide in connection with the deaths.

Did anyone in Hammond at the time see or hear anything that might help fill gaps in the timeline that night?
