NOPD Arrests Suspect in Double Shooting on Upperline Street

NOPD Second District officers have arrested Quinnon Adams (DOB: 11-02-1983) after he shot two people on Saturday (June 3, 2017) in the 2900 block of Upperline Street.

 

The incident happened at around 11:37 p.m. The victims were in the rear yard of the residence with Adams, when the subject brandished a .40 caliber Ruger and began to fire at the victims. Both victims were transported to the hospital.  Through further investigation, officers learned one of victims was struck in the neck, groan and thigh area while the second victim was struck in the hip.

 

The suspect then fled the location and relocated to 2800 block of Baronne Street where he called police to report shooting someone.  During apprehension, Adams was still in possession of the firearm used in the shooting.

 

 Adams was arrested for two counts of aggravated battery and illegal use of a weapon.
