On the night of June 12, 2015, 40-year-old Kimberly Claire Gerdes was shot and killed in her New Orleans home during a violent home invasion. According to the surviving witness, Gerdes’s fiancé, an unknown gunman followed 38-year-old Cinque Rashad Stallworth into the house, shot Stallworth, then fired at the fiancé (who avoided being hit). The fiancé ran to the bedroom where Gerdes was sleeping and the gunman fired again, fatally wounding her. Gerdes was a mother and is remembered by family and friends for her kindness and vibrant spirit.

The New Orleans Police Department produced a composite sketch of the suspect and the case was later handled by the NOPD cold case division. No publicly announced arrests have been made, and the motive remains unknown. Can anyone who knew Kimberly, Cinque, or who recognizes the composite sketch share what they know?
