Over seven hours, the NOPD is working on three separate shootings across New Orleans.
The shooting incidents started Thursday night and continued into the early morning hours on Friday.
The first shooting incident happened near the intersection of Elizardi Boulevard and Lawrence Street.
An NOPD report says, “Around 10:15 p.m. a juvenile male victim suffering from an undetermined number of gunshot wounds arrived at a local hospital in a private vehicle.”
The violence did not stop there.
“Around 3:53 a.m., an adult male victim arrived at a local hospital suffering from an undetermined number of gunshot wounds. The investigation determined the incident occurred in the 200 block of Crozat Street.,” says an NOPD report.
Then less than two hours later another shooting happened this time in Central City.
Around 4:48 a.m., an adult male victim arrived at a local hospital in a private vehicle suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.
The subsequent investigation determined the incident occurred earlier near the intersection of Washington Avenue and South Rocheblave Street.
Police are also working a shooting that happened at the intersection of North Claiborne Avenue and Tennessee Street.
The suspects approached the victim's vehicle and opened fire. The victim was shot multiple times and drove away.
The shootings come as the city council approved the use of facial recognition technology to help the police department grapple with the growing violent crime trend.
