Datin Odom, 31, was shot and killed in New Orleans on February 28, 2010. The shooting occurred at an intersection that had a grim connection to his past — a decade earlier he had been accused of murder at that same location.

The case remained unsolved for years. Nine years after the killing, an arrest was made: Carlos Heard was taken into custody and charged with Odom’s murder, reopening a case that had long been in limbo for Odom’s family and the community.

What details about Odom’s life, the location, or the investigation might help fill gaps in the timeline or lead to witnesses who can come forward?
