The NOPD has obtained arrest warrants for Cantrell D. Penny (pictured at left, black male, DOB: 05-11-1976) and Jasmine McGraw (pictured at right, black female, DOB: 08-28-1992) in the investigation of a shooting that occurred on April 23, 2023, in the 4900 block of Rhodes Drive.

At about 10:40 p.m., the victim and a female subject were reportedly involved in an altercation that escalated.

Penny is wanted on a charge of aggravated second-degree battery and illegal carry/discharge of a weapon. McGraw is charged with principle to aggravated second-degree battery, theft of a motor vehicle and for criminal damage to property.

All persons are presumed innocent until proven guilty.
