Comeese Arthur Mimitte was 20 when he was killed on February 19, 2010, in the 2700 block of Chippewa Street in New Orleans. He left behind a young child and a grieving family who remembered him as a son, a brother, and a father whose life ended far too early.

Years later prosecutors linked the February 19 killing to a larger racketeering indictment against alleged 110’ers gang members. Court documents allege Joshua Pittman and three unindicted co-conspirators took part in a murder on or about that date; the victim is identified only by initials in the filing but the date, location, and reporting align with Mimitte’s death. The sweeping indictment combined drug, gun and murder allegations, and pretrial proceedings experienced delays as representation issues and other procedural matters played out.

Did anyone who knew Comeese or his routines in Uptown in 2010 see or hear anything that could help explain what happened that day?
