NEW ORLEANS - The New Orleans Police Department is seeking the public’s assistance in identifying and locating two unknown suspects wanted in connection with an aggravated assault with a firearm investigation in the Fifth District.

On Monday, June 1, 2026, at approximately 11:10 a.m., officers responded to an incident in the 2400 block of North Johnson Street. During the investigation, detectives learned that the pictured suspects allegedly removed tools belonging to the victim from a work truck.

When the victim confronted the suspects and attempted to recover the stolen property, the unknown subject in the tan shirt produced a small handgun, racked the slide, and pointed the firearm at the victim. The suspects then fled the area before officers arrived.
