Around 8:40 a.m., NOPD Eighth District officers responded to a report of shots fired in the 300 block of Julia Street. Upon their arrival, the officers discovered the 29-year-old male suffering from an apparent gunshot wound. Emergency Medical Services transported the victim to a local hospital, where he later expired.
