The New Orleans Police Department has issued a public appeal seeking assistance in finding a person of interest linked to a homicide investigation from last year. Carl Newman, described as a black male with a date of birth of September 1, 1991, is believed to have valuable information regarding the incident, according to the New Orleans Police Department's statement.
