Surveillance cameras in the area captured the pictured unknown black male retrieving a black semi-automatic handgun from his pictured black Cadillac Escalade SUV and then running on Carondelet Street towards Canal Street. The same black male was then observed walking back to his vehicle, while openly carrying the semi-automatic pistol in his right hand. The black male then entered his vehicle and fled the area.
