Michael Price was 36 when he was shot and killed shortly before 1 a.m. on a Tuesday in March 2015 while working as a Domino’s Pizza delivery driver. Officers found him inside his delivery car, engine running, in the 6100 block of North Roman Street in the Lower Ninth Ward. Domino’s said no deliveries had been ordered nearby and the company later reported the apparent motive was robbery; less than $30 was taken.

Price had recently returned to deliveries after his car was repaired and had been helping at the Franklin Avenue franchise answering phones to provide for his wife and three children, ages two to eight. Police arrested 24-year-old Michael Portis and charged him with first-degree murder; investigators said they believed he acted alone. Portis was released from jail after the Orleans Parish District Attorney’s Office failed to file a timely indictment and the murder case did not go to trial.

Does anyone have information about Michael Price’s case or recall anything from that night in the Lower Ninth Ward?
