NEW ORLEANS — After two people were shot Saturday night in the French Quarter, police officers investigating the shooting need the public's help, a spokesperson said.

The New Orleans Police Department released a photo of two people believed to be involved in the Saturday night Bourbon Street shooting, and they're asking for the public to help to name them.

At around 11:06 p.m., the person wearing a green shirt and blue hat in the photo got into an argument with a person in the 300 block of Bourbon Street.  

At some point, the argument got worse, and that's when the second person in the photo, who is wearing a black jacket, pulled out a gun and opened fire, hitting two people.
