3 men shot outside Desire area mini mart: NOPD
The three shooting victims—ages 37, 43 and 35—were playing cards in front of a store when two dark-colored SUVs pulled up and someone opened fire, police said in a preliminary report.
The 37-year-old man was shot in the chest. The 43-year-old was struck in the left elbow, and the 35-year-old was shot in the right forearm and suffered two graze wounds to the chest, police said.
All three victims were taken to the hospital by private vehicle.
At the scene, police cordoned off a section of Louisa Street surrounding the Louisa Mini Mart, where investigators placed several cones in the parking lot. Investigators placed another 15 or so lime-green evidence cones in the roadway just past the store, with more than a dozen cones set in the lake-bound lanes. Another cone sat in the river-bound lanes of Louisa Street.
Investigators placed several more cones further back from the roadway, on a concrete slab in an overgrown lot next to the store.
Anyone with information on the shooting or the whereabouts of the pictured man is asked to call NOPD 5th District detectives at 504-658-6050. Anonymous tips can be submitted to Crimestoppers at 504-822-1111 or toll-free at 1-877-903-STOP.
