The New Orleans Police Department has issued a call for public assistance in the hunt for a suspect involved in an aggravated assault incident involving a firearm, according to a recent disclosure made by the NOPD News. The suspect, identified as Shauntrell Monique Fisher, is a Black female with a birthdate listed as January 17, 1981, and has been tied to a violent altercation that disrupted the peace in the 4800 block of General Meyer Avenue this past weekend.
Details emerging from the NOPD's investigation reveal that the incident occurred last Saturday, where it was reported that Fisher brandished a handgun and threatened an individual before taking flight from the scene, an act which has branded her not just a fugitive from justice but as someone who poses a significant threat given her classification as armed and dangerous, the citizens within the community are sternly advised to refrain from engaging with her—calling the police is the only recommended action if one were to encounter or possess information about her whereabouts.
Notably, the law enforcement's description marks Fisher as someone that should be conscientiously avoided by the public. In a shared sentiment where the safety of residents is paramount, the authorities have not only plastered the word about Fisher's wanted status but have also amplified their plea for community support via handy digital access—the NOPD News website hosts an image of Fisher allowing for ease of identification and further facilitating the potential for citizen-driven assists in the lead-up to her apprehension.
With the authorities on an active search, the public is encouraged to keep a vigilant eye; for those equipped with pertinent information or who might sight Fisher, the NOPD has provided the means for contact, urging immediate communication with the department as a cooperative measure. NOPD News stated that Fisher should by no means be approached by the public given the potential danger she represents.
