Henry Glover was 31 when he was shot and killed in New Orleans on September 2, 2005, in the chaotic days after Hurricane Katrina. His charred remains were later found inside a burned-out car on a Mississippi River levee. Glover had gone out in the Algiers neighborhood with a friend to find supplies when rookie NOPD officer David Warren fired, striking Glover with a single bullet.

Glover’s brother and a neighbor, William Tanner, drove the wounded man to a makeshift police station at an elementary school seeking help. Accounts say they were met with hostility; officers reportedly handcuffed and beat the two while Glover lay dying in the back of the car without medical aid. Officer Gregory McRae then took Tanner’s car with Glover’s body inside, drove it to the levee, and set it on fire with a flare.

An FBI probe produced federal indictments of five NOPD officers. In December 2010, juries convicted Warren of manslaughter, McRae of burning the body and obstruction, and Lieutenant Travis McCabe of filing a false report. Sentences were imposed in 2011, but an appeals court later ordered retrials for Warren and McRae; Warren was acquitted at retrial in 2013. The city has settled civil rights claims by the Glover family for undisclosed amounts.

Did anyone in the Algiers neighborhood see Glover or his companions that evening who hasn’t already come forward?
