Suspect Identified by NOPD in Aggravated Assault on North Broad Street

The NOPD has obtained an arrest warrant for Ronica Fields (DOB: 04-18-1993) in the investigation of an aggravated assault incident reported on February 9, 2019 in the 1400 block of North Broad Street.

Fields has been positively identified as the individual who, at about 4:11 p.m., entered a beauty supply store and attempted to shoplift items from the store. The store owner thwarted the attempt and put Fields out of the store. Fields is then believed to have relocated to her vehicle, removed a semi-automatic handgun from the vehicle’s trunk and threatened to shoot the victim before fleeing the scene eastbound on North Broad Street.

Anyone with information on this incident or on the whereabouts of Ronica Fields is asked to contact NOPD First District detectives at 504-658-6010, or call anonymously to Crimestoppers at 504-822-1111 or toll-free at 1-877-903-STOP.
