NEW ORLEANS — The NOPD Special Operations Division conducted an operation that ended with 19 violent crime outstanding warrant arrests including two homicide case arrests.
From April 14 to 19 the special operation taskforce made two outstanding warrant arrests in two homicide cases, eight aggravated battery by shooting or attempted aggravated battery by shooting cases; four armed robbery incidents, two arrests for illegal possession of a firearm; six felony domestic battery cases; one narcotics case; three auto theft arrests; seven firearms seized; six search warrants enacted; and eighth other incidents including a fugitive arrest.
“I commend our investigators and our Special Operations Division on their tireless efforts in locating and arresting those wanted for committing violent crimes and removing them from the streets of our city,” NOPD Superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick said. “This operation shows that no matter how much time may have passed or where violent offenders may run, the NOPD will not stop searching and will not rest until those who commit violent crimes in our city are in custody and held accountable.”
These arrests come in addition to arrests made by the NOPD in two recent shooting incidents; a homicide on April 7, at The Witt’s Inn and a shooting on Royal Street that happened at the end of Mardi Gras.
