The NOPD is seeking to locate and identify two suspects wanted in connection with an aggravated assault with a firearm incident that occurred in the 3300 block of Short Street on July 25, 2018.

The victim told police that at about 11:35 a.m., she was sitting on the front porch of her home in the area when an unknown light-skinned black male wearing a baseball cap allegedly fired a handgun multiple times at her. The subject then reportedly fled the scene in a dark-colored sedan with a temporary license plate tag. The vehicle was reportedly driven by an unknown black female with a heavyset build.

Surveillance video of the alleged perpetrator and accomplice, as well as the vehicle used by the suspects to flee the scene, can be seen here and here.

Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to contact Second District detectives at 504-658-6020 or call anonymously to Crrimestoppers at 504-822-1111 or toll-free at 1-877-903-STOP.
