NOPD Searching for Person of Interest in Homicide Investigation

The NOPD is requesting assistance in locating a person of interest for questioning in the ongoing investigation of a homicide that occurred on March 29, 2023, in the 1600 block of Pleasure Street.

Through investigation, NOPD Homicide Section detectives have developed Kavon Matthews (pictured, black male, DOB: 10-25-2002) as a person of interest in this case. Matthews is not currently wanted on criminal charges in this investigation. However, detectives feel he has knowledge of information vital to the investigation and wish to interview him.

Anyone with additional information on this incident is urged to contact NOPD Homicide Det. Nickolas Davis at 504-658-5300. Those wishing to report information anonymously can do so by calling Crimestoppers of Greater New Orleans at 504-822-1111 or toll-free at 1-877-903-STOP.
