man was injured in a shooting that occurred in the 700 block of Lasalle Street just after 11 p.m. Friday, according to the New Orleans Police Department.
Officers in the area heard the gunfire, found the man suffering from a gunshot wound and administered aid before paramedics took him to the hospital, the NOPD said.
Officers took one suspect believed to be responsible for the shooting into custody, the NOPD said.
It was a busy night in the area Friday, with the Division II non-select football state championship between Cecilia and Franklinton at the Caesars Superdome and a concert by rapper and trap-soul artist Rod Wave at the Smoothie King Center.
Throngs of people waited after midnight where police had put up police tape at the intersection of Girod Street and Lasalle, just down from Champions Square, unable to get to their cars parked in the nearby garage, according to videos posted on social media.
