The news release from NOPD said the shooting happened in the 4100 block of General Degaulle Drive.

"EMS pronounced the man dead on scene... The preliminary investigation indicates that this offense stemmed from a domestic dispute."

About an hour earlier there was a deadly shooting in the 2400 block of North Villere Street.
