NOPD Seeking Armed Robbery Suspect

The NOPD is requesting assistance from the public in identifying and locating a suspect in the investigation of an armed robbery on August 29, 2020 in the 500 block of North Carrolton Avenue.

At about 9:15 p.m., the pictured subject was inside of a business in the 500 block of North Carrollton Avenue when he was allegedly seen committing a theft. A manager at the business attempted to stop the subject, at which time the subject attempted to force his way past the manager. During the exchange, the subject reportedly armed himself with a knife and raised it toward the manager. The subject was able to exit the store and fled on a dark-colored bicycle.

Anyone with additional information on this incident is asked to contact NOPD First District detectives at 504-658-6010 or call anonymously to Crimestoppers of Greater New Orleans at 504-822-1111 or toll-free 1-877-903-STOP.
