NOPD Seeking Suspect in Third District Armed Robbery

The NOPD is requesting the public’s assistance in identifying and locating a suspect in the investigation of an armed robbery on April 17, 2022, in the 4500 block of Old Gentilly Road.

At about 7:21 p.m., the pictured unknown black male entered a Dollar General store posing as a shopper. When the subject reportedly approached a cashier to purchase an item, the subject allegedly produced a firearm and demanded money from the cash register. The cashier complied and the suspect fled the scene in the pictured black four-door sedan.

Anyone with additional information on this incident 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.
