NOPD Seeking Suspect in Eighth District Armed Robbery

The NOPD is seeking the public’s assistance in identifying and locating a suspect sought in the investigation of an armed robbery of January 23, 2022 in the 200 block of Carondelet Street.

At about 3:30 p.m., an unknown subject entered the victim’s vehicle and grabbed two bags from the front seat. The victim intervened and attempted to grab the bags back from the perpetrator, at which time the suspect produced an object appearing to be a firearm and the victim released the property. The perpetrator then fled in a white full-sized truck.

The victim tracked one of the items reported stolen to a location in the 300 block of North Broad Street, where the pictured subject sold the property. The subject reportedly arrived to the location in a white Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck with a bed toolbox.

Anyone with additional information on this incident is asked to contact NOPD Eighth District detectives at 504-658-6080 or call anonymously to Crimestoppers of Greater New Orleans at 504-822-1111 or toll-free 1-877-903-STOP.
