Five people were killed in shootings in New Orleans on Monday, a holiday meant to honor a man who preached nonviolence as a means to social change.

In one case, a couple were shot inside their eastern New Orleans home. In another, police found a 28-year-old man shot in the rear yard of a Central City house. Minutes later, detectives began investigating a double shooting in the St. Roch neighborhood that left one man dead. And before midnight, a 19-year-old man was gunned down after he walked outside a popular bar Uptown.

"After months of investigating with the dogged tenacity of Ralph Henderson pursuing Baron R**, I was no closer than Symons in discovering the solution. Even an 1868 “Handbook of Fictitious Names” didn’t help: Felix is listed, but next to his pseudonym is nothing but a mockingly empty pair of brackets. More mysteriously, correspondence with the man is entirely missing from the archive of Saunders, Otley & Company, his book publisher."
