Cops say an armed robber shot a victim on the Westbank this morning.

"At around 7:20 am, JPSO deputies responded to a reporting shooting in the 2200 block of Arlington Drive in Harvey," Captain Jason Rivarde said in a news release. " Arriving deputies found a male gunshot victim, who was transported to a local hospital for treatment.  He was shot one time in his shoulder and is in stable condition."


He says it started when a man pulled a gun on two people.

"The incident began as an armed robbery attempt. A male suspect approached two victims outside of a business and demanded their property at gunpoint. As one of the victims attempted to run away, the suspect discharged the firearm, striking that victim. The suspect was able to remove property from both men."

Rivarde says they are asking for the public's help in identifying the suspect and finding him.

"Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to call our Robbery Section at 504-364-5300 or contact Crimestoppers."
