Nathaniel Menwell Mills, a 30-year-old African American barber, was fatally shot multiple times on the evening of June 20, 2008, in Slidell, Louisiana. The shooting happened at about 9:15 p.m. shortly after he closed his shop, Unfadeable Barber and Beauty on Carroll Road. Family members had urged him not to work late, but he continued to do so.

The killing deeply affected his family and the local community. For more than two years the case remained unsolved, prompting Crimestoppers GNO to offer a reward of up to $2,500 for information leading to an arrest and conviction while the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s Office investigated.

In October 2010 law enforcement arrested Bonnie Harvey and charged her with first-degree murder in connection with Mills’s death, a development the family and community regarded as a major step toward justice. Did anyone in Slidell know Nathaniel or see him on the night of June 20, 2008?
