Robert Hamilton, a 40-year-old White man, was killed in New Orleans, Louisiana in the early hours of September 30, 2014. The case was recorded by investigators as a homicide in the city’s Fourth District, logged at about 3:00 a.m., placing the violence in that quiet, disorienting stretch of night when most streets feel half-asleep but danger can still find its moment.
Police documentation tied the incident to 1356 Flanders Street, Apartment 10, linking the death to that specific address rather than a vague corner or anonymous block. The entry lists the case number as I-37563-14 and assigns the investigation to Detective Brueggeman, suggesting an officially tracked inquiry rather than an informal report or uncertain circumstance.
In the record, the disposition is marked “Open,” and no suspects are named in the same listing—no arrest noted, no “charged” line, no indication of a cleared case. What remains, at least in the publicly available documentation of that 2014 homicide ledger, is the outline of a life ending at a specific place and time, and an investigation that—on paper—did not yet have the closing chapter written into it.
