A member of a nearby construction crew nearby discovered a victim with multiple gunshot wounds.
Another member of the crew spoke to WWLTV.
"It's frustrating, to be honest because we don't need to be dying unless it's due to old age. That's the way I look at it," the construction worker said.
The NOPD did not provide any details about the victim's identity.
