A summer 1987 crime in Shreveport, Louisiana left three people dead in a West 66th Street home. On August 5, 12-year-old Joe Robinson, a Black male, was found on the living room couch with a severe blow to his forehead. He and 8-year-old Eric Williams had spent the prior day working in the yard with 73-year-old William T. Code and were allowed to spend the night at the house.

When a family member checked the home the next afternoon after the boys failed to return, all three were found bound and gagged. William Code had been stabbed multiple times; both Joe Robinson and Eric Williams had been strangled with a cord. Investigators believed the killer was known to the victims, and suspicion focused on William Code’s grandson, Nathaniel Code. His fingerprints matched evidence from an earlier unsolved quadruple slaying called the Cedar Grove massacre, and he was arrested and indicted in connection with these murders.

Does anyone have memories of Joe, Eric, or the West 66th Street neighborhood from 1987 that could add detail to the timeline or the victims’ last day?
