NOPD Seeking Suspect in First District Armed Robbery Investigation

The NOPD is requesting assistance from the public in identifying and locating a suspect in the investigation of an armed robbery that occurred on September 18, 2023, in the 1400 block of North Broad Street.

At about 6:50 a.m., the pictured unknown black male reportedly entered a business and asked for various items. The subject then allegedly produced a large knife while the cashier was away from the counter. The subject then reportedly placed the cashier into a headlock and began to point the knife at her while demanding money from a register. The subject retrieved approximately cash from the cash register and fled the store.

It should be noted that the cashier described the subject as speaking in a foreign accent

Anyone with additional information on this incident or on the pictured suspect is urged to contact NOPD First District detectives at 504-658-6010. Those wishing to report information anonymously can do so by calling Crimestoppers of Greater New Orleans at 504-822-1111 or toll-free at 1-877-903-STOP.
