NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — The New Orleans Police Department is trying to identify and arrest a man who opened fire with a pistol at a home in the Lake Terrace neighborhood. The case is the latest one to roll on the Wheel of Justice.

According to police, the crime happened around 2:30 in the morning on Oct. 18 in the 1700 block of Frankfort Street. The department also released security camera footage that shows much of what happened.

In the video, a man is seen walking up to the corner of a home where he begins firing a pistol. A car and house may have been damaged. In the security camera footage, you can hear about 13 gunshots.

It’s the second case of its kind in about a three-week period. On Sept. 22, about two miles away from the Frankfort scene, someone opened fire at a home in the 2400 block of Dreux Avenue. That case was also featured in a Wheel of Justice report.
