Today, the NOPD announced the arrest of five suspects in its investigation of a homicide that occurred on April 14, 2024, in the 800 block of South Peters Street. The arrests came as a result of a multi-agency operation that spanned multiple parishes in the New Orleans area.

At about 11:51 p.m. on April 14, 2024, a large crowd was gathered on the sidewalk outside The Republic nightclub in the 800 block of South Peters Street, when the occupants of a vehicle opened fire and into the crowd, appearing to target individuals waiting to enter the nightclub. NOPD and New Orleans EMS responded to the scene, provided aid to the victims, and preserved critical evidence for the investigation.

A total of 12 people sustained gunshot-related injuries. One of the victims, an adult female, was later pronounced deceased from a result of her injuries. The Orleans Parish Coroner’s Office later identified the deceased victim as then 27-year-old Jezreel Poleate.

During an investigation spanning 26 months from the incident until current day, the NOPD worked with its law enforcement partners at Louisiana State Police, the FBI and other law enforcement agencies to tirelessly document portions of the crime and collectively investigate the incident. Through an extensive investigation that included the collection and review of video evidence, dozens of search warrants, the collection and review of digital and forensic data, interviews, covert surveillance and other investigatory methods, NOPD Homicide Section Det. Donald Willyard and other assisting investigators identified and obtained arrest warrants for five suspects in this incident.
