...random killings, however, like the still-unsolved January murder of filmmaker Helen Hill, that have spurred ordinary citizens to take up arms. Hill was the apparent victim of an early morning intruder at her home near the French Quarter; her killing, and a rash of other murders, prompted an emotionally charged march on City Hall that month...
...Livaccari points out that, in a holdup, a gun-waving victim is more likely to end up shot than one who simply hands over money - though his message isn't helped by incidents like one last October in which a would-be victim shot and killed a man he told police was trying to rob him and a female companion at gunpoint near the French Quarter.

The murder occurred during a high-profile event in which the victim was in the international spotlight, and it followed hours after a humiliating defeat for his team. The fact that police believe he would have known his killers (because there was no sign of forced entry or robbery) has narrowed the range of suspects and motives. The fact that police have security...
