Daniel Thomasson was 25 when his body was found on October 1, 1989, dumped along a desolate stretch of Almonaster Boulevard in New Orleans. Investigators concluded he had been lured into a vehicle with the promise of a visit to an adult club in the city’s eastern section; while en route he was shot three times inside the car and his body was later left on the roadside.

The case went cold and remained an unsolved homicide for years. Detectives later reopened the file and renewed efforts, including a painstaking search for the murder weapon that had never been recovered. Publicly, no persons of interest or arrests have been identified in connection with the killing.

If anyone knew Daniel, his movements that night, or has information about the vehicle or the weapon, please come forward.
