NOPD Seeking Suspect in Fourth District Aggravated Assault with Firearm

The NOPD has obtained an arrest warrant for Damien Roshaud Jenkins (pictured, male, DOB: 07-11-1980) in the investigation of an aggravated assault with a firearm incident on March 9, 2021 in the 3600 block of General DeGaulle Drive.

Through investigation, NOPD Fourth District detectives determined that at about 3:12 p.m., the victim pulled her vehicle into a parking lot at the location when a subject positively identified as Jenkins pulled up in a vehicle alongside the victim. Jenkins then allegedly made a threatening gesture with his hand implying that he would shoot the victim. The victim reportedly told Jenkins that she did not fear him, at which time Jenkins allegedly produced a handgun and pointed it at the victim before fleeing the scene. Jenkins was said to be driving a gray four-door Toyota Camry with unknown license plate.

Anyone with additional information on this incident or on the whereabouts of Damien Jenkins is asked to contact NOPD Fourth District detectives at 504-658-6040 or call anonymously to Crimestoppers of Greater New Orleans at 504-822-1111 or toll-free 1-877-903-STOP.
