NOPD, U.S. Marshals Arrest Wanted Murder Suspect

The NOPD and U.S. Marshals have arrested Elbert Webb (DOB: 02-11-1989) after a SWAT roll in the 1000 block of North Galvez Street today (August 27, 2019).

At about 7:00 a.m., NOPD VOWS officers and U.S. Marshals attempted to serve an arrest warrant at the location for Webb, who was wanted in a murder investigation in Jefferson Parish.

Upon the attempt, Webb reportedly barricaded himself inside of residence and refused to surrender. A SWAT roll was then declared.

After negotiations, NOPD Special Operations Division officers successfully apprehended Webb at about 2:30 p.m.

Webb will be transferred to the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office to face the warranted murder charge in that jurisdiction.
