Hey everyone,
I've been following the tragic case of Edwin Canales, and my heart goes out to his family and loved ones. It's devastating to see another life lost to the senseless gun violence that has plagued New Orleans for so long.
One thing that's been on my mind is how the degradation of evidence over time impacts solving cases like Edwin's. It frustrates me to no end thinking about how important pieces of evidence might be lost forever, making it harder to bring the perpetrators to justice. I read that the New Orleans Police Department is trying to combat this by using new forensic tech and DNA testing, which is promising. But, I wonder how effective this is given the age of these cases. Does anyone know if there's been any progress or successes from these efforts?
Also, the community's role can't be understated. It seems like local engagement is key, but getting people to come forward is such a challenge, especially in areas where there might be fear of retaliation. I'd love to hear if anyone has ideas on how the community can be better supported to help with unsolved cases like Edwin's.
Thinking of Edwin's family and hoping that they one day get the answers they deserve. ?
Stay safe, everyone.

I've been following Edwin Canales' case, and it's truly distressing how many lives have been affected by the violence in New Orleans over the years. I remember reading about how the city was desperately trying to combat the high homicide rates around the time Edwin was killed. It's unfortunate that such a vibrant city has been plagued by this ongoing struggle with violence.
Does anyone know if the community engagement efforts have made a difference for cases like Edwin's? I feel like there’s so much potential in harnessing local knowledge and tips that might be slipping through the cracks. It's sad to think about how many families are still looking for closure after all these years, and I hope the new forensic techniques they're using can finally bring some answers.
If anyone has insights on whether these community-driven approaches are making headway, it would be interesting to hear about it. The more awareness we can raise, the better the chance of getting justice for Edwin and so many others.
