Persons Crimes

Item # E-03438-23 (armed robbery)@4000 Ulloa Street occurred 5/4/23 8:20 am;  The victim an elderly male stated he was walking in the 4000 Block of Ulloa when he was approached from the rear by a B/M who was armed and took approximately $300 dollars and fled on foot.

Item # E-04374-23 (aggravated battery-cutting)@ Orleans and N. Broad occurred 5/5/23 4:30 am;  This incident is sketchy, the victim stated he was involved in an argument with someone he knows over “non sense” this person retrieved a machete, swinging it at the victim and causing lacerations to his chin and shoulders.  Officers spoke with the victim at the hospital and didn’t meet with him on the scene, it appears UMC contacted police, the victim didn’t give a perpetrator name and stated he walked to the hospital after the incident occurred.

Item # E-5455-23 (armed robbery)@2727 Canal Street occurred 5/6/23 3:48 am;  The victims were parked in the Burger King parking when a silver Honda Accord pulled up occupied by two B/M’s.  The subjects exited the vehicle, subject #1 with a firearm and demanded property, taking a small amount of currency and the victim’s vehicle (blue Hyundai Elantra).  The subjects fled the scene and later crashed the victim’s vehicle at the intersection of N. Claiborne and Iberville Streets, the perpetrators then fled on foot from the crash scene.  The gunman was described as dark skin tone, approximately 18-22 years old, 5”8”, and a thin build.  The other subject was simply described as a B/M.

 Looking at the map vehicle burglaries and thefts were scattered throughout Mid-City, N. Anthony and Bienville, along with the Taft and Dumaine caught my eye.

The Broad Street corridor from Orleans to Canal Street is a priority with the recent stint of robberies on mostly businesses, the Ulloa and S. Pierce area is still a target of high visibility patrols and that area around DMac’s.  Today Officer Grijalva was on the scene of a second degree battery where a likely homeless subject punched a vendor of DMac’s in the face and caused a serious facial injury.
