Officers Melvin Williams and Matthew Dean Moore were traveling through Treme. For reasons that are unclear, the officers converged on Robair. Robair was preparing to repair the vent on a neighbor's roof. Witnesses said Williams administered a fatal kick, amid a flurry of baton strikes. Within minutes, the officers dumped Robair at Charity Hospital, telling staffers they found him on the ground under a bridge and believed he had overdosed on drugs.
