NOPD Looking for Vehicle Taken During Carjacking in Third District

New Orleans - The NOPD is requesting the public’s assistance in looking for a vehicle taken during a carjacking incident that occurred on July 3, 2020. 

At around 11:05 p.m., the owner of a dark gray 2018 Acura RLX was sitting in his parked car in the 4400 block of Perlita Street when an unknown subject wearing a black face mask, hoodie, and armed with a semi-automatic handgun demanded his vehicle.  The victim exited the car and the subject fled in the victim’s vehicle. 

For reference purposes only, a picture of the car similar to the vehicle stolen is posted.  The reported stolen vehicle has no window tint and a cracked window shield.  

Anyone with information regarding the whereabouts of the vehicle or the identity of the subject is asked to contact Third District detectives at 504-658-6030 or Crimestoppers at 504-822-1111 or toll-free at 1-877-903-STOP.
