The NOPD has arrested Enrique Garcia (Hispanic male) in its investigation of a homicide that occurred earlier in the same day (September 27, 2025) in the 3200 block of Dumaine Street, in the First District.
At about 7:55 a.m. on September 27, a NOPD First District officer responded to reports of a shooting at the location.
Upon their arrival, officers found an adult male gunshot wound victim who was later transported to a nearby hospital, where he was later pronounced deceased.
Through further investigation, NOPD Homicide Section detectives developed and positively identified Garcia as the perpetrator.
Garcia was later located the same day in the Third District, where he was arrested and subsequently booked into the Orleans Justice Centre on one count of second-degree murder.
All persons are presumed innocent until proven guilty.
