NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — The New Orleans Police Department reported a homicide in the 3900 block of Dublin Street at Costco on Sunday evening.

Second District officers responded to a call at 7:03 p.m. of a shooting in the Hollygrove area and upon their arrival, the officers located a 44-year-old man suffering from an apparent gunshot wound to his body.

Emergency Medical Services technicians pronounced the man dead on the scene.

A preliminary investigation revealed the incident stemmed from a domestic dispute. The shooter was taken to NOPD headquarters for questioning.
