Wanted Suspect Identified in NOPD Shooting Investigation

The NOPD has obtained an arrest warrant for Nino Verde (pictured, black male, DOB: 09-11-1976) in the investigation of an aggravated battery by shooting incident that occurred on April 19, 2022, in the 6200 block of Chef Menteur Highway.

Through investigation, NOPD Seventh District detectives determined that the victim and Verde were in an argument when the victim left the scene and returned a short time later, at which time the argument resumed. At that time, Verde is suspected to have produced a firearm and to have shot the victim.

Verde is wanted on a charge of aggravated second-degree battery in this incident.

Anyone with additional information on this incident or on Nino Verde’s location is asked to contact NOPD Seventh District detectives at 504-658-6070 or call anonymously to Crimestoppers of Greater New Orleans at 504-822-1111 or toll-free 1-877-903-STOP.
