A man was shot Wednesday evening (March 28) in the 7200 block of Yorktown Drive in New Orleans East, according to the NOPD.
The victim sustained gunshot wounds to the arm and was taken to an area hospital by EMS, police said.
About 10 to 12 investigators gathered toward the middle of the block, mostly congregated in the roadway in front of a brick ranch-style home. The house sat within the taped-off section of Yorktown Drive.
At least one detective stood in front of the home as crime-scene techs began setting up equipment nearby.
A few small clusters of people stood in their driveways, watching investigators document the scene, but outside of the yellow tape, the street was otherwise quiet and mostly empty.
The shooting occurred just a few blocks from where a man, about 40 years old, was shot to death one week ago.
In January, a fatally shot motorist drove into a brick home in the 7000 block of Salem Drive, a couple of blocks from Wednesday night’s shooting.
