On the evening of October 21, 2015, 36-year-old Willie Hart Jr., known to friends as Chill Will, was shot to death under a carport at a residence on Roselawn Avenue in Houma, Louisiana. Hart and his girlfriend had arranged to meet 28-year-old Troy Nixon to buy ecstasy. After Hart exited his vehicle and followed Nixon under the carport, two men, identified as Joshua Swan and Ahmad Lawson, opened fire, striking Hart 17 times in what has been described as execution-style violence. Lawson then shot Hart’s girlfriend through the car window, wounding her with the bullet and glass.

The assailants fled in a small black car and a witness called for help. Authorities later concluded the killing was retaliatory and a case of mistaken identity tied to the earlier death of Robert Swan, Joshua Swan’s brother. Joshua Swan and Ahmad Lawson were convicted of second-degree murder and received life sentences without probation, parole, or suspension; their appeals were denied.

Does anyone have information about Hart’s movements that night or knew him as Chill Will?
