NOPD Seeking Suspect in Fifth District Cutting

The NOPD is seeking assistance with locating and identifying a subject sought in connection with an aggravated battery by cutting that occurred in the 1600 block of Elysian Fields Avenue on March 26, 2019.

At about 3:00 a.m., the victim was involved in a verbal argument with the subject in the parking lot. During the argument, the subject produced a knife and cut the victim on the left forearm. Shortly thereafter, the subject fled east on North Claiborne Avenue towards Marigny Street, then unknown.

The subject was last seen wearing a black beanie with a New Orleans Saints logo on the front, a brown short-sleeved t-shirt, black pants and a black drawstring backpack.

Anyone with additional information on this incident or the pictured subject is asked to contact NOPD Fifth District detectives at 504-658-6050, or to call anonymously to Crimestoppers at 504-822-1111 or toll-free at 1-877-903-STOP.
