Bernard Lee, 40, was shot and killed in New Orleans on the evening of Thursday, January 9, 2014.

An online memorial page associates the name Carlos Heard with a charge in connection with Lee’s killing, but the memorial and other online references do not supply information about how investigators linked Heard to the crime, when or where an arrest occurred, or whether there were subsequent court proceedings.

The facts of what happened after the homicide — the investigative steps and any legal resolution — remain largely undocumented in accessible reports.
