NOPD Seeking Vehicle of Interest in Shooting at Princess Lane and Downman Road

The NOPD is seeking the public’s assistance in locating a vehicle of interest in connection with a shooting that occurred on June 21 at the intersection of Princess Lane and Downman Road.

At about 4:20 p.m., the victims were in the parking lot of an apartment complex in the area when the wanted subjects observed the victims and began shooting at them from across the parking lot. The victims fled on foot. The wanted subjects entered the pictured vehicle, believed to be a maroon colored 2004-2007 Chevrolet Malibu with an unknown license plate. The vehicle exited the parking lot and turned left on Downman Road. The subjects encountered an additional victim and opened fire from the vehicle, striking that victim in the left hand. The subjects then fled the scene in the vehicle, heading north on Downman Road.

Anyone with information on this incident, the vehicle of interest or its occupants is asked to contact Seventh District detectives at 504-658-6070. Citizens with information that can help solve crimes are asked to call Crimestoppers at 504-822-1111 or toll-free at 1-877-903-STOP.
