New Orleans Police are actively seeking the public's help in identifying and locating a man accused of assaulting three women across two different incidents earlier this month. The NOPD released information on the suspect, who allegedly committed second-degree battery and simple battery on June 4 and June 5, on North Carrollton Avenue and Palm Drive respectively. The assaults occurred in areas familiar to residents, one in the 600 block of North Carrollton Avenue and the other nearby, at City Park within the 100 block of Palm Drive.
Details provided by the NOPD describe the suspect as a Black male with short hair, standing between 5' 6" and 5' 8" with a stocky build. His attire during the assaults included a dark-colored shirt and blue checked pants. Of note in police descriptions is a light blue patterned carry-bag that the suspect had in his possession, which could be a distinctive marker for those trying to identify him.
Authorities have circulated an image of the suspect and are encouraging anyone with information to come forward. The New Orleans Police Department has established an anonymous tips line and reminds the public that aiding in the capture of the suspect contributes to the safety and integrity of the community.
Those with information are not only aiding in the pursuit of justice for the victims but they helps to deter crime by sending a message that the community stands united against such acts of violence. Anyone recognizing the individual in the image or who has knowledge regarding the incidents is strongly urged to connect with the NOPD or CrimeStoppers. You can find further details and the photo of the suspect on the official NOPD news site at NOPD News.
