Suspect Sought for Aggravated Assault with a Firearm

NOPD officers are searching for Anas Nabil (DOB: 11-20-1987) after his alleged involvement in an aggravated assault with a firearm.

On Friday, January 11, 2019, around 8 p.m., the victim and the pictured subject reportedly engaged in a verbal altercation outside of a business located in the 4300 block of Louisa Street.

The reporting person told police that the victim and the subject began to push each other, at which time several employees exited the business to stop the situation from escalating.

Nabil reportedly relocated to a red pickup truck and retrieved a small handgun. Nabil allegedly pointed the gun at the victim and threatened to shoot him. The employees then pushed the victim back inside the business and the subject fled the scene.

Anyone with any information regarding Anas Nabil’s whereabouts should notify Third District detectives at 504-658-6030. Citizens with information that can help solve crimes are asked to call Crimestoppers at 504-822-1111 or toll-free at 1-877-903-STOP.
