This has been another violent and turbulent week in New Orleans. Six police officers were indicted for a fatal shooting on a bridge a few days after hurricane Katrina. And just after the police chief announced that violent crime was under control, six New Orleanians were killed in less than 24 hours. One of them was 36-year-old Helen Hill. She was shot to death in her home. Hill was a friend and neighbor of radio producer Eve Troeh. In this remembrance, Troeh says her friend's death has people reconsidering their decision to return to new Orleans.
