Authorities in New Orleans have caught the man they say fired the first shot in a deadly exchange of gunfire last weekend in the city’s French Quarter, police said Friday.
An arrest warrant was issued Friday morning for Trung Le — a 20-year-old from nearby Belle Chasse, Louisiana — on one count of first-degree murder and nine counts of attempted first-degree murder, police said.
... The shooting took place about 2:45 a.m. Sunday on the 700 block of Bourbon Street, a popular gathering place for tourists and revelers who pack bars and clubs between St. Peter and St. Ann streets and often spill into the streets.
Authorities announced Wednesday that 21-year-old Brittany Thomas died of her wounds from that shooting. Nine others were wounded.
