LittleJohn June Haynes, a 39-year-old African American father of two, was murdered in New Orleans on February 20, 2011. According to prosecutors, his killing was tied to gang retaliation: Haynes was accused of supplying a gun used to kill an associate of a 39ers gang member and of robbing one of the gang’s drug customers, motives that investigators say led the group to target him.

The FBI’s New Orleans Gang Task Force worked with the New Orleans Police Department, the ATF and the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office on the investigation. Federal racketeering charges arising from the probe produced a six-week trial that centered on members of the 39ers. Curtis Neville and Evans Lewis were convicted by a federal jury of murder in aid of racketeering and causing death through use of a firearm; Neville received a mandatory life sentence without parole.

Did anyone in the New Orleans area know LittleJohn Haynes or have information about his ties to the 39ers that could shed light on the events before February 20, 2011?
