NOPD Seeking to Locate Person of Interest in Homicide Investigation

The NOPD is seeking assistance from the public in locating a subject identified as a person of interest and sought for questioning in the ongoing investigation of a homicide that occurred on January 14, 2025, at the intersection of Almonaster Avenue and Florida Avenue.

Through investigation, NOPD Homicide Section detectives have developed Ivian Shelton (pictured, black female, DOB: 03-03-1990) as a person of interest in this case. Shelton is not currently wanted on criminal charges in this investigation. However, detectives feel she may have knowledge of information vital to the investigation and wish to interview her.

Anyone with information that can help to locate the listed person of interest or with additional information that can assist in this investigation is urged to contact NOPD Homicide Section detectives at 504-658-5300. Those wishing to report information anonymously can do so by calling Crimestoppers of Greater New Orleans at 504-822-1111 or toll-free at 1-877-903-STOP. Tips can also be submitted online by visiting https://www.crimestoppersgno.org.
