Alonzo Wiley, 35, was killed inside his room at the Travelodge on the Westbank Expressway in Harvey, Louisiana, in the early morning hours of December 5, 2021. Wiley owned The Grooming Gallery barbershop and was described as stylish and someone who often carried cash. After Hurricane Ida both Wiley and Raymond Lee were living at that motel.

According to investigators, Lee deceived Wiley into letting him into the room intending to rob him. A struggle followed; Wiley was shot three times as he tried to flee, and then shot two more times in the face after a pillow was placed over his head. The shooter then took Wiley’s belongings and left. Detectives say cell phone records, physical evidence from the scene, and witness statements tied the case to Raymond Lee.

Wiley’s family remembered him as a protective cousin, a fun uncle, a supportive brother, and a loving son. If anyone has information about that night or knew Wiley, please share what you know with investigators.
