The New Orleans Police Department has named Jawuan Riley, a Black male born on May 11, 2000, as the individual wanted for second degree murder and three counts of attempted second degree murder. Details provided by NOPD News indicate that around 1:00 a.m. on July 27, an episode of gunfire resulted in multiple victims and vehicles being hit.
