That's what we heard from the NOPD on the scene (though I agree it is suspicious the partner escaped unscathed), but, we will probably never know for sure because the alleged shooter was himself killed in an I-10 shootout shortly after:

Man suspected of New Orleans drink entrepreneur's slaying was killed in I-10 shooting

The man slain in a triple shooting Thursday night on Interstate 10 was out on $250,000 bond after his arrest in the November killing of local drink company founder Devin

And then there was a shooting at the alleged killers funeral, killing an innocent bystander:

'Retaliation on top of retaliation' | Kim Boutte killed in shooting after repast

"(She was just) in the wrong place at the wrong time at a funeral paying her respects,” said Fi Yi Yi spyboy Albert Polite.

thats from the city's crime dashboard - filter is set to show motor vehicle thefts, robbery and theft only since 1/1/2022. But you can slice it and dice it all you want.

NOPD - Data - City of New Orleans

WOW. Vehicle burglary is insane in NO.

Keep in mind that data is also undercounting. I only reported the 1st of our 3 car break-ins, and I am certain I'm not alone in just getting my window fixed and not even bothering to file a police report. It's literally a waste of my time.

The one that survived ended up catching a credit card fraud case.

What was suspicious about that case was that the survivor called the victim to meet him at the park late in the evening...and while they were there some dude approached them and they both ran...but only the one guy got shot. Hella sus circumstances.

That's one of the cases that P'Oed me off more than another over the past few years.

Like the scene straight out of Barbershop, including the owner saying they're going to be disappointed when they open it up.

I have questions. Was this a local artist that "installed" this near the steps of City Hall out of protest or as a memorial or did the current administration commission the artist to create and install this sculpture near the steps of City Hall? If it is the latter, that is disturbing.

Trying to tease just a bit of contextual nonnegativity into the thread

History of the foot of Elysian Fields and discussion about revitalization

The past is prelude at the foot of Elysian Fields near the French Market, a once-bustling zone

A newcomer shown a map of downtown New Orleans might presume that the foot of Elysian Fields Avenue is bustling with action.

My only confusion is that he talks about the Smoky Mary as running from downtown to the Lake - I had only heard of it as a rail engine on the Lake rails - tmyk

I always thought the saying was ‘The past is prologue‘

That’s how I always heard it (prologue)
But I suppose it’s just a matter of text vs music
