The NOPD is seeking assistance in locating a suspect and a vehicle in the ongoing investigation of a shooting that occurred on December 8, 2022, in the 4200 block of Chef Menteur Highway that left four people injured.

At about 12:30 p.m., the pictured black Kia Forte entered the parking lot of a shopping center at the location. The pictured unknown male subject wearing a black hooded sweatshirt was then seen exiting the vehicle armed with a rifle and opening fire on two juvenile male victims outside of the location. Both victims fled into a store. The perpetrator then opened fire again into the business. The two juveniles and two additional adult victims were struck by the gunfire. The suspect then returned to the Kia and fled the scene. All four victims were transported via EMS to a local hospital for treatment of injuries.

All persons are presumed innocent until proven guilty.
