A woman was killed in Algiers Friday evening. After midnight, two people were killed within minutes of each other in the Central City and Florida neighborhoods, police said. Raising Cane's Reopens After FireAlgiers’ Raising Cane’s (4009 Behrman Highway) is re-opening tomorrow, less than six weeks after an arsonist tried to raze Cane's. In celebration of the eatery’s swift recovery, they are inviting the public to a celebration, and serving up free lunch for all the firefighters that helped squelch the blaze. Sunday in NOLA: Treme Second Line, West Bank Mardi Gras Indian ParadeNew Orleans traditions don't limit themselves by banks of the river. Tomorrow, the East and West Bank will demonstrate why New Orleans culture thrives with a second line in Treme, and the West Bank Mardi Gras Indians' version of Super Sunday. Suspicious Suitcase Searched at SuperdomeUpdated 6 a.m. Police are investigating a suspicious package in a parking garage in the Superdome, according to Officer Garry Flot, a NOPD spokesman. Around 8:20 p.m., police sent in a robot to investigate the item, which is an unattended suitcase in the Superdome's parking garage 1, Flot said. Child Injured in Algiers FireA one-year-old child was injured and many displaced this morning in a fire in Algiers that engulfed a multi-unit home. A mother and her four children escaped the blaze after a neighbor helped them out of their duplex, located at 1316 Teche Street. The one-year-old was taken by EMS to a local hospital after suffering smoke inhalation. Residents Report Illness After Toxic Leak in RefineryThe smell that wafted through the GNO last week was more noxious than the standard NOLA stench, and residents are feeling its effects long after the air has cleared. A benzene and hydrogen sulfide leak in a Chalmette refinery prompted odor reports from Algiers to Metairie, and the Louisiana Bucket Brigade found that 50 percent of people they interviewed experienced related health issues. Suspected Raising Cane's Arsonist Still at-LargeOn Friday night, a customer at a Raising Cane’s location in Algiers apparently decided the chicken wasn’t crispy enough. The man, who is still at large, set the restaurant located at 4009 Behrman Highway on fire, according to New Orleans Fire Department officials. No one was injured in the two-alarm fire, which was under control in less than an hour. Men in Surgical Masks Hold Up Algiers Mini Mart (VIDEO)New Orleans police are searching for two men wanted for a Monday night armed robbery in Algiers. The men entered a store in the 3000 block of General Degaulle Street around 9 p.m. wearing masks, according to a police press release. They began yelling, “Where is the money? Give me the money!” as one of the men demanded that the clerk open the cash register. NOPD Seeks Man with Info on West Bank Murder (VIDEO)Police are seeking the public’s help in finding a man who may have information on an unsolved murder. Eric Hatley was shot several times and killed in Algiers on December 31, 2012, at approximately 1:10pm. Hatley was found in a white Chevrolet Camaro parked in the 2000-block of Cypress Acres Drive. Missing 11-Year-Old Girl FoundThe 11-year-old girl who went missing from Algiers Saturday night returned safely, according to police. Emyri Smith was reported missing after her mother thought she went to a store with her sister and a neighborhood friend on Friday. But the mother realized she was missing when she didn't return with the daughter. There were no signs of foul play, police said. |
