The NOPD has obtained an arrest warrant for Jerald Bordere (DOB: 07-21-1999), who has been identified as a suspect in a double shooting in the 700 block of Union Street on February 13, 2018.

At about 3:17 p.m., a fight reportedly occurred among a group of approximately 10 individuals on Union Street near Carondelet Street. One man in the group allegedly produced a handgun and fired into the group, striking one victim in the leg and a second victim in the head area. Both victims were transported to an area hospital by EMS. With patrols throughout the area, NOPD was in position to respond immediately to the incident and secure the scene.

A previous surveillance image released later that day showed one of the suspects.
