NEW ORLEANS — The NOPD is investigating a double shooting in Central City that's left one man dead.
NOPD officials received a call of shots fired just after 11 p.m. Friday night. Officers located two men suffering from gunshot wounds outside a bar on South Rocheblave Street and Washington Avenue.
Both men were taken to separate hospitals, where one of the men eventually died. It was later determined that the shooting was a drive-by.
The NOPD is also investigating a shooting that occurred in the French Quarter around 3:30 a.m. Saturday morning.
Police say a man was shot in the leg at the intersection of Esplanade Avenue and Decatur Street, near the New Orleans Jazz Museum. There is currently no information on his condition.
NOPD officials have labeled the killing a homicide, which means investigators with the NOPD's homicide unit will lead the efforts into investigating the incident.
