NOPD Seeks Public’s Help to Locate Two Persons of Interest in 2022 Homicide

New Orleans, La. (BuzzReport) — New Orleans Police are asking for the public’s assistance in locating two individuals believed to have critical information related to a homicide investigation dating back to the summer of 2022.

According to investigators, a murder occurred on June 26, 2022, near the intersection of Saint Roch Avenue and North Miro Street. As detectives continue to work the case, they are seeking to speak with Malik Baker and Blade Williams, both described as Black males, who authorities believe may have information important to advancing the investigation.

Police emphasize that Baker and Williams are not suspects and are not wanted for the crime. They are being sought solely because of the information they are believed to possess that could help detectives bring clarity and accountability to the case.

The New Orleans Police Department urges anyone who knows the whereabouts of Malik Baker or Blade Williams—or who has any information related to the June 26 homicide—to come forward.

Anyone with information is asked to contact NOPD Homicide detectives at 504-658-5300. Tips can also be submitted anonymously through Crimestoppers at 504-822-1111.

Authorities say even small details can make a meaningful difference as the investigation continues.
