NOPD Searching for Suspect in First District Shooting Investigation
The NOPD is requesting the public’s assistance in locating and identifying a suspect in the ongoing investigation of a shooting that occurred on May 27, 2023, in the 900 block of North Rampart Street.
 
Through investigation, it was determined that at around 2:29 a.m. on May 27, the pictured subject was involved in a verbal altercation with the victim as they passed each other on the street. The altercation allegedly then became heated, at which time the subject reportedly produced a handgun from his bag and opened fire on the victim, striking her in the abdomen. The subject removed a jacket from his bag and donned it while fleeing the scene.
 
 
All persons are presumed innocent until proven guilty.
 
Anyone with additional information on this incident is urged to contact NOPD First District detectives at 504-658-6010. Those wishing to report information anonymously can do so by calling Crimestoppers of Greater New Orleans at 504-822-1111 or toll-free at 1-877-903-STOP.
