Occupants of the Toyota Highlander reportedly fired several gunshots into a vehicle stopped in front of them early on June 29.
New Orleans police said Monday (July 3) they are searching for a sport utility vehicle whose occupants reportedly opened fire upon another vehicle stopped in front of them last week in the French Quarter.
The NOPD said the gunfire erupted around 1: 40 a.m. on June 29, at the intersection of Decatur and Bienville streets.
The victim in the case told police he was stopped at the corner when a silver or gray Toyota Highlander pulled to a stop behind him. The driver said he heard gunshots and saw the muzzle flash of a gun from the SUV. He told police he sped away, and later found multiple bullet holes in the rear of his vehicle.
Police on Monday released a still image of the suspects’ SUV, captured by a nearby surveillance video camera.
Authorities ask anyone with information on the vehicle or its occupants to contact NOPD 8th District detective Paul Johnson (504.658.6080) or Crimestoppers (504.822.1111) .
