Police want to know if you can assist them in finding a New Orleans killer.
"The NOPD is asking for the public's help in locating a suspect wanted in connection with a brutal beating that left a disabled man dead," New Orleans Police said in a news release.
Investigators says a 68-year-old man was sitting outside a business at South Claiborne and Napoleon Avenue on Sunday.
"He was approached by the suspect at about 12:50 a.m. The suspect allegedly began to argue with the victim, taking the victim's belongings from his backpack and destroying them. The suspect then began to brutally beat the victim-who was unable to defend himself due to health issues."
NOPD released video of the suspect.
"The suspect (pictured male), is described as being of unknown race with short dark hair. He was last seen wearing a white t-shirt, torn blue denim 'skinny' jeans and white sneakers."
The Orleans Parish Coroner identified the victim as 68-year-old David Hyde.
"Anyone with additional information that can assist in this investigation is asked to contact NOPD Homicide Section detectives at 504-658-5300, or to call anonymously to Crimestoppers of Greater New Orleans at 504-822-1111 or toll-free at 1-877-903-STOP.
