NEW ORLEANS (AP) – New Orleans police arrested a suspect in a morning shooting in the French Quarter that left one man dead. The shooting happened around 3:30 a.m. Monday in the 300 block of North Peters Street. Police say the 26-year-old victim was shot multiple times. Spokesman Garry Flot says officers were working a paid detail in the quarter when they heard several shots.
Flot says officers arrested the suspect, 27-year-old Jamal Claude, after a brief car chase and foot pursuit.
Claude was booked with second-degree murder. Flot said the shooting was the result of an argument that started in a nightclub.
The victim’s name has not been released.
