Cornelius Bentley III, 28, was found in a New Orleans hotel room on Chef Menteur Highway on September 5, 2015, with multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene. The New Orleans Police Department opened a homicide investigation after emergency responders arrived and determined he had been shot.

Detectives identified Calvin Morris as a primary suspect after motel parking lot surveillance showed Morris and another man, later identified as Marco Parker, leaving the room where Bentley’s body was found. Footage captured one of the men discarding an object in a nearby trash can; that item was recovered and identified as a Glock handgun. An arrest warrant for Morris was issued and he was later located in Harris County, Texas, on an unrelated charge before being returned to New Orleans to face charges. Parker was charged with obstruction of justice in the homicide probe.

Bentley was remembered by family and friends as a loving father, a devoted fiancé, and a hardworking electrician. Does anyone have information about Bentley, his movements that night, or the people seen on the motel footage?
