The New Orleans Police Department is asking for the public’s help in identifying and locating a suspect in connection with an aggravated assault with a firearm investigation.
Police say that around 1:30 p.m. July 6, officers were called to an aggravated assault in the 2100 block of Reverend John Raphael Jr Way.
When they arrived, they met two victims.
One of them was a ride-share driver who claimed a man approached him while he was parking in the area, pulled a gun on him and told him to leave.
Another victim, a woman, reported that after the ride-share driver left, the suspect approached her, making unwanted advances.
As she fled into a home, the suspect allegedly fired several shots after her, but she was not hit.
Through an investigation, the pictured person was identified as the perpetrator. He is described as a 5-foot-3 thin Black male with dark skin. He may go by the nickname “Lil Youngin.”
Anyone with information about his identity and whereabouts is asked to contact 6th District detectives at 504-658-6060 or Crimestoppers anonymously at 504-822-1111.
This is an ongoing investigation.
