NEW ORLEANS — The New Orleans Police Department is investigating a pair of shootings, one fatal, that occurred Thursday morning in Treme. Both incidents took place in the 1900 block of St. Ann Street.
Police originally located a woman suffering from a gunshot wound around 6:45 Thursday morning. She was taken to the hospital by ambulance and her condition is not currently known.
Police later found another victim, a man, suffering from a gunshot wound from a separate shooting. He died at the scene.
Police originally believed that the two incidents may have been related, but upon further investigation they now believe these two shootings are not related.
Anyone willing to share information that can help police in the investigation of either shooting can call CrimeStoppers at 504.822.1111 or toll-free 1.877.903.7867.
After an autopsy, the Orleans Parish Coroner’s Office will release the deceased's name and the official cause of death, but not before getting in touch with the victim's family.
