Aaron Phat Scott was 17 when he was fatally shot on Babylon Street in New Orleans’ Plum Orchard neighborhood on the evening of April 24, 2010. The New Orleans Police Department investigated the shooting, which investigators say grew out of a dispute whose exact nature became central to the trial record.

Police identified two suspects in the days after the killing and charged Carlos Heard and Levar Miller with second-degree murder. At trial prosecutors put forward evidence and witness testimony describing an altercation that escalated to gunfire; the defense contested that account and the evidence.

A jury ultimately convicted Carlos Heard of manslaughter; he received a lengthy prison term. Levar Miller was also convicted for his role in the incident. The convictions ended the criminal proceedings, though the community and Scott’s family were left to reckon with the loss.

If anyone knew Aaron, his whereabouts that night, or has information about the dispute that led to his death, please share what is known.
