The New Orleans Police Department reported Saturday that two people were fatally shot and three people wounded in separate early morning shootings. The first of the two incidents took place shortly after 2 a.m. when a 28-year-old man was gunned down in the Pines Villages neighborhood.
Police said he was shot in multiple times and found on the ground of a parking lot of a lounge near the 4300 block of Downman Road. He was rushed to the hospital where he was pronounced dead.
In the second shooting, a woman was found lying on a sidewalk in the 2800 block of South Roman Street around 2:40 a.m. Police said she had been shot several times and was pronounced dead on the scene.
NOPD said three other people were injured including a man who was shot in the head and listed in critical condition. A 32-year-old woman was shot in the arm and another man had a gunshot wound to his body--both were listed in stable condition, police said.
Police believe the shooting was started outside of a house when an argument was sparked between the victims and the alleged shooter, who after opening fire, quickly fled the scene.
The identities of both of the fatally-wounded victims were not released pending family notification. No arrests have been made yet in either shooting and police said the investigation is ongoing.
Police ask anyone who has information on either shooting to call Crimestoppers at 504.822.1111 or toll-free at 877.903.7867. Tips can also be texted to C-R-I-M-E-S (274637); text TELLCS then the crime information. Callers or texters do not have to give their names or testify and can earn a $2,500 reward for information that leads to an indictment.
