Isaac Big Ike Stern, 47, was shot to death on the sidewalk in front of his home near the Fair Grounds in New Orleans on the evening of February 15, 2013. He was reportedly waiting for a friend to bring him a cigarette when a car sped up to the corner of Romulus and Castiglione streets shortly before 7:30 p.m. Occupants of the vehicle opened fire, striking Stern multiple times; witnesses said three masked gunmen stood over him, laughed, and continued shooting as he collapsed.

Police treated the killing as a targeted attack and investigated possible gang involvement. Investigators believed the slaying may have been carried out by a group known as the Mid-City Killers and that the motive could have been retaliation for violence allegedly committed by Stern’s son. Authorities identified Orlando Rickmon, 26, as a person of interest after witness accounts and review of social media; one gunman was described as tall with long dreadlocks, a description said to match Rickmon, though his family denied gang involvement.

Does anyone have information about that night or about people who might know more about the Mid-City Killers and this killing?
