Herbert Joseph Shiloh Jr., 34, was fatally shot while attending a birthday gathering in eastern New Orleans on April 10, 2010. The party turned chaotic when gunfire erupted; Shiloh was struck multiple times and died at the scene.

Investigators quickly focused on a man with a personal connection to the victim. Authorities identified Jimmy Hatfield of Metairie as the shooter, alleging the motive was jealousy over Shiloh’s relationship with Hatfield’s former girlfriend. Hatfield was arrested, tried, and convicted for the murder; a jury returned a guilty verdict and he was sentenced to life in prison.

Did anyone at that time see or hear something at the party that hasn’t been shared publicly?
