Norman Lyons was 23 when he was shot and killed in New Orleans’ 7th Ward on the evening of March 31, 2016. His death occurred during a violent stretch for the city that spring and left family and friends scrambling to cover burial expenses through a community GoFundMe.

The New Orleans Police Department opened an investigation but the case produced no immediate arrests or publicly identified suspects. The investigation was later placed with the NOPD Cold Case Unit.

Anyone who knew Norman, witnessed the shooting, or has information that could help the investigation is asked to come forward.
