The NOPD is searching for three suspects wanted in connection with an assault on St. Louis Street.

The victim reported that on May 13, 2017, at approximately 2 a.m., he was standing outside of an establishment located in the 900 block of St. Louis when he was approached by Suspect #1, an unknown black male wearing a floral print shirt and black tank top. The victim and the man in the floral print shirt, later identified asTerrance Allen, became involved in a physical altercation. Two additional unknown black males then came to the aid of Suspect #1.

Suspect #2 is described as a black male wearing a white shirt and New York Yankees baseball cap, and Suspect #3 was a black male wearing a black jacket over a white t-shirt and black bandana.

The three suspects then left the location, but Suspect #1 and Suspect #2 later returned armed with a baseball bat. Suspect #1 reportedly attacked the victim with the bat and both he and Suspect #2 got into a maroon four-door vehicle and fled the location.
