NOPD Arrests Suspects in Armed Robbery on Calhoun Street

The NOPD has arrested Devonte Holmes (DOB: 10-23-2000, pictured at left), Alronello Mallery (DOB: 07-02-2000, pictured at right) and a 16-year-old male juvenile in connection with an armed robbery that occurred on November 22,2017 in the 3200 block of Calhoun Street.

At about 9:29 p.m., Second District units responded to a call of an armed robbery in the area.  One of the victims told police that he was seated in the driver side of his truck with his friend seated in the passenger seat and parked in front of his residence. They were then approached from the rear by an unknown subject who pointed a gun at the driver and demanded the victims’ wallets. A second subject approached from the rear and walked around the front of the vehicle to the passenger and demanded his wallet. Both victims complied, and the subjects then fled on foot on Calhoun Street towards Fontainebleau Street.

Units responding to the scene observed the subjects fleeing the area on Fontainbleau Street. After pursuing the suspects on foot, all three subjects were contained in a neighborhood block. A perimeter was established, and a search of the block resulted in the apprehension of all three subjects, identified as Holmes, Mallery and the juvenile.

Each of the three suspects was arrested and booked on two counts of armed robbery in the incident. The juvenile was transported to the NOPD juvenile division and booked accordingly, while the remaining two suspects were booked into the Orleans Parish Justice Center.

Anyone with additional information on this incident is asked to contact Second District detectives at 504-658-6020. Citizens with information that can help solve crimes are asked to call Crimestoppers at 504-822-1111 or toll-free at 1-877-903-STOP.
