A man was shot to death in Central City early Tuesday just a few blocks away from a fatal stabbing that occurred about 12 hours earlier, the New Orleans Police Department reported.
Police responding to a report of a two-vehicle traffic fatality at 4:38 a.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 22, learned on route that two men armed with handguns were fleeing the scene in a vehicle.
When they arrived in the 2900 block of South Saratoga Street, they found a man in a black Nissan Rogue that had crashed into a parked Hyundai Sante Fe. He was suffering from a single gunshot wound and was pronounced dead at the scene.
The victim was later identified by the Orleans Parish Coroner’s Office as Day’Shawn Brown, 35.
