Jessie Lee To-To Reed, a 26-year-old African American man, was shot and killed in New Orleans on June 20, 2009, in the 2300 block of Terpsichore Street. The killing was described as a calculated execution tied to the city’s criminal underworld rather than a random act.

Investigators linked Reed’s murder to the Hankton Organization, a gang said to be involved in drug trafficking and violent crime. The slaying was believed to be a retaliatory killing for the murder of a member of the Hankton family, part of a broader violent conflict between rival factions.

If anyone has information about Jessie Reed, his movements that day, or the Hankton Organization’s activities around Terpsichore Street, please come forward. How else might this case be cracked open by someone who knew the neighborhood or the people involved?
