NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — The New Orleans Police Department has asked for the public’s help in identifying and locating the suspect in Thursday’s shooting outside of a Gentilly Dollar Tree.
The NOPD responded to the 4200 block of Chef Menteur Highway at about 12:30, after four people suffered gunshot wounds when a man reported targeting two juveniles, pulled up to the store in a black Kia Forte, chasing the juveniles into the store and opening fire on them, hitting two other shoppers.
Officers say the suspect was last seen wearing a black hooded sweatshirt when they ran out of the store and drove off. The victims were taken to the hospital by EMS but their conditions were not released.
