Two suspects were arrested in connection to a homicide last month (July 15) in the 8300 block of Nelson Street, according to police. The victim was found unresponsive with gunshot wounds and pronounced dead by medical responders on the scene.
On July 18, the Orleans Parish Coroner’s Office identified the victim as Conrad Noble and determined that Noble died from a gunshot wound. He was 24.
