The department’s appeal notes that "all persons are presumed innocent until proven guilty." The New Orleans Police Department is also asking witnesses to speak directly with investigators rather than share identifying details across social media. Public calls for assistance like this have become a routine part of NOPD outreach as detectives work new cases and chase leads, and local outlets have covered similar requests for information this month.
