A 26-year-old man was shot several times inside an Audubon Street home early Monday morning, according to police reports.

The victim told police he was dragged inside a home in the 2800 block of Audubon Street around 3:20 a.m. Monday and shot several times, according to the initial police report. No further details were immediately available.

The 2800 block of Audubon is between Fontainebleau Drive and Earhart Boulevard.

The university area has gotten out of control in recent years. I know we don’t know the story here, but I know people who have had drunk college students break in to their homes. Tension is running high, especially when residents have been kept awake until 4am. And I see no police on Broadway at all. The city needs to either put crowd control procedures in place or not allow this chaos to continue 24/7 for an entire week.

This is not in the University area. This is a crime ridden area of Gerttown Nola Grey. Not excusing it.

  Kurt,
  
  The 2800 block of Audubon St. is right off Walmsley, which is not in Gert Town,nor is it a particularly crime-ridden spot. It’s an OK mixed-density residential block with property assessed comparably to those in the University area. Also, while it’s not the University area proper, it’s worth pointing out that quite a few Tulane students and faculty members live in the area (although it’s highly unlikely this case is drunken college kid related as the earlier commenter extravagantly insinuated). These facts make this violent crime all the more alarming. It’s a strange case and I’m curious to know what happened.

  This is not Gert Town and not a crime ridden area! Get your facts straight before posting incorrect statements on public forums. It is Fountainbleau and generally a nice area. 2800 block is right off Walmsley. I would really like some more details about this crime!

There was a murder in the 3000 Block of Audubon in Sept 2012. Audubon improves when you cross Fontainbleau towards River. I agree with Mr. Buchert that this is not a University(kids partying) issue. This is a poverty/crime/Gert Town Issue involving drugs & thugs with no conscience.
