A gunman threatened to kill a 29-year-old man before opening fire at a gas station on Crowder Boulevard late Wednesday (April 3), according to an initial report by New Orleans police.
The 29-year-old was struck in the ankle in the shooting, reported about 10:30 p.m. in the 5700 block of Crowder, near Interstate 10.
The victim was leaving the gas station when a car approached and a man inside threatened him, police said in the initial report. Though already armed, the shooter retrieved another handgun from the vehicle’s trunk before he began firing at the 29-year-old.
The wounded man fled to a nearby restaurant and asked for someone to call 911. He was then taken to a local hospital by EMS.
The suspect fled the scene in an unknown direction, police said.
Anyone with information on the shooting is asked to call Crimestoppers at 504-822-1111.
