Wanted Suspect Identified in Fourth District Simple Kidnapping Incident

The NOPD has obtained an arrest warrant for Lynzell King (pictured, black male, DOB: 01-23-1998) in the investigation of a simple kidnapping incident on October 8, 2021 in the 3100 block of Lamarque Street.

Through investigation, NOPD Fourth District detectives determined that King arrived at the female victim’s residence, at which time the victim opened the door. King is then believed to have grabbed the victim in a physical altercation, pulled the victim out of her residence and forced her into a white crossover style SUV while armed with a firearm. The victim has not been seen or heard from since that time. The victim is believed to be with King and to be in danger.

King was last seen wearing a white hooded sweatshirt, black pants, and white shoes. He is about 5’10” tall and to weigh approximately 130 pounds.

Anyone with additional information on this incident or on the whereabouts of King and/or the kidnapping victim is asked to contact NOPD Fourth District detectives at 504-658-6040 or call anonymously to Crimestoppers of Greater New Orleans at 504-822-1111 or toll-free 1-877-903-STOP.
