NOPD seeks information in wellness check turned homicide investigation
NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — The New Orleans Police Department is asking for the public’s help in the investigation into a homicide in the Seventh Ward.

Around 11:10 a.m. on Sept. 4, NOPD officers were called to conduct a wellness check in the 1400 block of Elysian Fields Avenue. Officers said the reporting person found a man inside lying on the floor unresponsive.

EMS responded and declared the man dead on the scene.

An autopsy done by the Orleans Parish Coroner’s Office on Sept. 5 discovered the man had suffered a gunshot wound.

The coroner determined this to be the cause of death and the investigation was reclassified as a homicide.

No further details are available. The NOPD is in the process of gathering evidence and information to determine a possible suspect and motive.

Anyone with information on the incident can call homicide detectives at 504-658-5300 or Crimestoppers at 504-822-1111.
