ALGIERS, La. (WGNO) — The New Orleans Police Department (NOPD) is investigating a shooting in the Algiers area that left one man dead.

According to the NOPD, the shooting happened just before 5:30 p.m. in the 5100 block of General DeGaulle Drive.

Officers say a 28-year-old man was at a gas station in the area when a silver SUV pulled up. The person fired shots at the victim, hitting him several times before leaving the scene.
