Three shot at 6-year-old child's custody exchange, New Orleans police say

28-year-old Tiffany Davis was arrested following the shooting on Saturday in the 3100 block of Elysian Fields Avenue.

NEW ORLEANS — Correction: A previous version of this report incorrectly identified Tiffany Davis as the mother of the six-year-old child involved in a custody exchange. 

A Saturday morning shooting in New Orleans' St. Roch neighborhood that left three people wounded happened during a custody exchange of a six-year-old child, preliminary reports from the investigation said Sunday.

According to the New Orleans Police Department, 28-year-old Tiffany Davis was arrested following the shooting on Saturday in the 3100 block of Elysian Fields Avenue. Police were seen investigating a crime scene at a Burger King location in the area.

Police say Davis was involved in an argument that turned physical. During the confrontation, Davis allegedly fired shots, injuring a man and two women. Preliminary reports from the NOPD said that the four individuals were doing a custody exchange of a six-year-old child, though Davis was not the child's mother.
