The NOPD is seeking assistance from the public in locating and identifying a suspect and vehicle wanted in connection with an aggravated battery by shooting that occurred during an attempted armed robbery in the 400 block of Harmony Street on January 30, 2018.

At approximately 11:05 p.m., the pictured individual utilizing the pictured red or burnt orange in color newer model two-door Ford Mustang drove past the victim. The subject then reportedly exited from the passenger side of the vehicle armed with two handguns and ran up to the victim, demanding the victim’s property.
