Through investigation, NOPD Second District detectives identified the suspect as Randy Lewis (pictured at left, black male, DOB: 12-07-1990). An arrest warrant was obtained for Lewis’ arrest on a charge of armed robbery.

Through investigation, NOPD Second District detectives have positively identified Joseph Spencer Ramirez (pictured at right), white male, DOB: 05-06-1998) as one of the perpetrators. An arrest warrant has been obtained for Ramirez’s arrest on a charge of armed robbery. Investigation is ongoing to determine information on an additional suspect(s).
