NOPD Investigating Armed Robbery in Fourth District, Seeking Suspect

The NOPD is requesting assistance in identifying and locating the perpetrator of an armed robbery that occurred on May 21, 2023, in the 2900 block of General DeGaulle Drive.

At approximately 6:30 p.m., the pictured unknown subject reportedly entered a business at the location, walked behind the counter and produced a firearm. The subject then allegedly instructed store clerks to open the cash registers, to which the employees complied. The subject reportedly took the cash from the registers and fled the location.
