Tony Edmond Barthelemy was a 15-year-old Black male from New Orleans who was kidnapped, severely beaten, and shot in the neck on June 17, 2006. He was found the next day in a wooded area in the Algiers neighborhood and remained in a coma for two weeks before dying on June 28, 2006. He had placed a phone call to his mother that day, telling her he loved the family and was coming home; that was the last contact reported.

Investigators arrested a suspect named Phillip Helton on June 18, 2007; reporting at the time said another suspect remained at large.

Does anyone have verified information about later developments in the investigation, or memories of Tony and his life in Algiers?
