Attempted Carjacking Suspects Wanted in the Eighth District

NEW ORLEANS - The NOPD is requesting the public’s assistance in locating the four pictured unknown subjects believed to be involved in an attempted carjacking incident that occurred on May 16, 2021. 

At around 9:50 p.m., the pictured subjects attempted to remove a woman from her vehicle at gunpoint then fled after she screamed for assistance.  The subjects fled down Ursulines Avenue toward North Rampart Street. 

The group appears to include two females and two males who are believed to be in their late teens to early 20’s.  One female subject is wearing a black hoodie with a white square design on front and her hair is styled in long thick partially red-dyed dreadlocks.  The male subject wearing a black jacket is believed to be armed with a gun. 

Anyone with information regarding the identity of the subjects is asked to contact Eighth District detectives at 504-658-6080 or call anonymously to Crimestoppers at 504-658-6080 or toll-free 1-877-903-STOP.
