NOPD Seeking Suspect in Third District Armed Carjacking

The NOPD is seeking assistance in locating and identifying a suspect in the ongoing investigation of an armed carjacking on January 19, 2022 in the 5600 block of Charlotte Drive.

At about 5:13 p.m., while the victim was sitting in the driver’s seat with the vehicle parked, a black male attired in a black mask covering his face and clear gloves, approached the victim’s vehicle on the passenger side. The male pointed a black handgun at the victim, while using it to tap on the passenger side window, while ordering the victim out of her vehicle. When the victim complied, the perpetrator entered the vehicle and fled southbound in the 5600 block of Charlotte Dr.

Surveillance video footage of the suspect can be seen at this link.

Anyone with additional information that can aid in this investigation is asked to contact NOPD Third District detectives at 504-658-6030 or call anonymously to Crimestoppers of Greater New Orleans at 504-822-1111 or toll-free 1-877-903-STOP.
