Suspect Sought in Eighth District Simple Robbery, Aggravated Assault

The NOPD has obtained an arrest warrant for Frederico Turner (pictured, DOB: 07-22-1993) in the investigation of a simple robbery and aggravated assault that occurred on September 23, 2019.

Through investigation, NOPD Eighth District detectives determined that at about 5:58 p.m., Turner was inside of a business in the 100 block of Royal Street when he snatched a cell phone out of the victim’s hand and fled on foot. The victim reportedly gave chase and, a short time later, Turner allegedly produced a knife and threatened to kill the victim if he did not stop following him.

Anyone with additional information on this incident or on the whereabouts of Frederico Turner is asked to contact NOPD Eighth District detectives at 504-658-6080, or to call anonymously to Crimestoppers at 504-822-1111 or toll-free at  1-877-903-STOP (7867).
