NOPD Continues to Search for Suspect in First District Hit-and-Run Crash

NOPD officers have secured an arrest warrant for Christopher Anders (DOB: 12-28-1989) who is wanted in connection with a hit-and-run crash that occurred on November 24, 2019 that left one adult male and one juvenile male seriously injured.

At about 6:40 p.m., the driver of a black Chevrolet Camaro was allegedly operating his vehicle in a reckless manner in the 1400 block of North Claiborne Avenue. The driver then reportedly lost control of the vehicle, mounted the raised median and struck a four-year-old child and his father. The Camaro then reportedly continued forward and struck a parked pick-up truck, before becoming disabled. The driver of the Camaro fled the scene on foot and left the disabled vehicle on the raised median. Both victims were transported to an area hospital.

Anyone with additional information regarding Christopher Anders' whereabouts is asked to contact NOPD Traffic Division Detective Danny Ellis at 504-658-6208, or to call anonymously to Crimestoppers at 504-822-1111 or toll-free at 1-877-903-STOP (7867).
