Staff Sergeant Joseph Emmanuel Anderson was 31 when he was shot and killed in Marrero, a New Orleans suburb, on January 1, 2014. Anderson, a decorated U.S. Army soldier and father of three who had served multiple tours in Iraq, had just arrived at his in-laws’ home and was still in his vehicle when two men approached with the intent to steal the car.

Investigators identified two suspects: Darwin Bethune and Demond Sandifer. Bethune pleaded guilty to manslaughter and received a 30-year sentence after accepting a plea deal. Sandifer was tried, convicted of second-degree murder, and sentenced to life in prison. Anyone with information about Anderson, his last movements that night, or the events leading up to the carjacking is asked to come forward.
