NOPD Seeking Person of Interest in Homicide Investigation

The NOPD is asking for the public's assistance in locating a person of interest wanted for questioning in connection with a homicide investigation.

On February 15, 2023, officers from the Seventh District responded to a shooting in the 5900 block of Beechcraft Street. 

Upon arrival they found a 31-year-old male suffering from multiple gunshot wounds in a driveway. He was pronounced dead a short time later.  The Orleans Parish Coroner identified the victim as Troy Smith.

Through investigation, detectives identified Raven Marie Green, (pictured, black female DOB: 6-17-1996) as a person of interest in this incident.

Green is NOT wanted in this incident.  She is sought for questioning as investigators believe she may have information pertinent to the investigation.

Anyone with information as to her whereabouts or other information about this incident is asked to contact the Homicide Unit at (504) 658-5300 or Crimestoppers anonymously at (504) 822-1111 or toll-free at 1-877-903-7867.
