A 37-year-old man was arrested by the New Orleans Police Department on Friday, Nov. 17, in connection with a shooting that left a woman dead in a New Orleans East neighborhood.
The New Orleans Police Department said it did not process fingerprints collected from the body of 42-year-old overdose victim Justin Smith for more than two weeks after an analysis was requested by the Orleans Parish Coroner’s Office, blaming an air-conditioning outage at its headquarters for the delay.
