A man was wounded in a drive-by shooting on Clara Street on Monday, and a 79-year-old woman was robbed at her Hollygrove home on Sunday, the New Orleans Police Department reported.
The shooting victim, a 27-year-old man, was sitting in front of his home in the 3700 block of Clara, near Louisiana Avenue, at about 4:30 p.m. on Monday, Jan. 13, when a car approached, police said.
Someone fired multiple shots from inside the car, striking the victim. He was driven to the hospital in a private vehicle.
The robbery victim was at home in the 8400 block of Palm Street at about 7:15 p.m. on Sunday when a young woman came to her door. The woman told the 79-year-old that someone was outside messing with her car.
