FBI agents will meet with New Orleans homicide detectives this afternoon to assist in identifying and locating the man suspected of killing an Algiers father who tried to thrwart a carjacking Wednesday morning.

Agents contacted New Orleans police to offer their help, and detectives accepted the offer.

On Wednesday, shortly after 7 a.m., 44-year-old Harry "Mike" Ainsworth was shot to death in the 500 block of Vallette Streeet as his two young sons watched. The gunman ran from the scene.
