Carjackings in Lower Garden District, Central City were related, NOPD says; DA Jason Williams, his mother were victims
|
District Attorney Jason Williams and his mother were carjacked in the Lower Garden District on Monday night (Oct. 16), media reports state. The New Orleans Police Department have linked that carjacking to another that occurred about half-hour later, stating they were likely committed by the same two men. Williams was helping his 78-year-old mother into his car at about 10 p.m. when they were approached by two armed men demanding his vehicle. He complied, and one of the gunmen fled in his black Lincoln Navigator.
