Michael Marshall, a New Orleans resident, was fatally shot on the morning of September 14, 2011, as he arrived for work at a scrap yard on Poland Avenue. Investigators determined the killing was not random: Marshall had been cooperating with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and was targeted in a murder-for-hire plot.

Federal prosecutors identified three members of the gang known as the 39ers — Washington Big Wash McCaskill, Leroy Lee Price, and Ashton Pound Price — as the men who hunted down and killed Marshall; they were arrested and later convicted for the assassination and related gang activity. A state grand jury also indicted Steven J. Shaq Burns Jr. on charges of second-degree murder and conspiracy, alleging he paid the three to carry out the hit. Authorities reported Burns died in his sleep just before the indictment was handed down and therefore did not stand trial.

Are there witnesses or neighbors who remember activity around the Poland Avenue scrap yard that morning?
