Phyllis Bell, 51, was killed outside her New Orleans home on December 5, 1987. Bell went to investigate the disturbance, and as Bridges fled the scene he shot her fatally.

Two days later, on December 7, 1987, Bridges was involved in a shootout with police and was shot and killed. Ballistics testing after that encounter matched the weapon used to kill Bell to the gun recovered from Bridges, effectively linking him to her death. Reports also identify another man, Jimmy Johnson, as an accomplice to Bridges in a separate murder that occurred days earlier.

Are there any neighbors, family members, or witnesses from that block in 1987 who remember the incident or can add detail about what happened that week?
