How they died
Less-than-lethal force
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.
