New Orleans police and federal authorities are on the hunt for a man they believe opened fire at a Mother’s Day parade in New Orleans that injured 19, the Associated Press reports.
The suspect was identified as Akein Scott, 19, who was seen in blurry surveillance camera images of the mass shooting.
New Orleans Police Superintendent Ronal Serpas said authorities have “multiple identifications of Akein Scott as the shooter.”
The AP reported that Serpas has an extensive criminal background that includes firearms and drug charges.
“We would like to remind the community and Akein Scott that the time has come for him to turn himself in,” Serpas said at a news conference outside police headquarters.
