Vehicle, Suspect Sought in Connection With Aggravated Assault on Colapissa Street

The NOPD is seeking to locate a suspect as well as a vehicle believed to have been used by the suspect in relation to the commission of an aggravated assault that occurred on June 28, 2018 in the 8700 block of Colapissa Street.

At about 9 p.m., the victim was in the area when she was approached by the perpetrator, known to the victim as “Sheeka,” “Cheeka” or “Cheeks”. The perpetrator then allegedly produced a handgun, pointed it at the victim and stated she would shoot her. The perpetrator then fled in a dark colored four door vehicle, possibly a Ford Taurus, bearing a Louisiana commercial license plate (possibly N505-78, N504225, or a variation of the two).

The perpetrator was described as a dark skinned black female in her 30s with a medium build, standing about 5’6” with long straight hair.
