The NOPD has obtained arrest warrants for Dennis Martin (pictured at left, male, DOB: 11-03-1987) and Derick Martin (pictured at right, male, DOB: 05-25-1989) in the investigation of an aggravated battery by shooting on October 17, 2020 in the 4400 block of Cessna Street.
Through investigation, NOPD Seventh District detectives determined that at about 11:40 a.m., the victim was in the 4400 Block of Cessna Court, when they reportedly observed two black males – later positively identified as the aforementioned suspects – produce firearms and began firing at the victim. The victim fled on foot as the suspects allegedly followed, continuing to fire their weapons. The victim ultimately sustained three gunshot wounds to the lower body. The suspects fled the scene.
Dennis Martin and Derick Martin are each wanted for second degree aggravated battery.
