NEW ORLEANS — Police are asking New Orleanians if they've seen the man who shot and killed a male victim in the French Quarter early Monday morning, a statement from NOPD said.
Detectives with the New Orleans Police Department investigating the shooting have determined that the man in the photo is the shooter, a police spokesperson said.
According to the New Orleans Police Department, the shooting happened just before 5:53 a.m. in the 400 block of Burgundy Street.
Officers responding to a call of "a male shot" found a man lying on the sidewalk with a gunshot wound.
Paramedics took the victim to the hospital where he later died, the NOPD said.
The police department did not identify the victim or any possible motive for the shooting.
The Orleans Parish Coroner's Office will release the man's identity after conducting an autopsy and determining his exact cause of death.
Anyone with information about the shooting or the person responsible is asked to call NOPD homicide detective John Bakula at 504-658-5300. They can also report information anonymously to Crimestoppers at 504-822-1111.
