Shots were fired at around 1:30 a.m. o

Thirty police officers were already in the same block as part of extra patrols following the earlier Bayou Classic college football game

Bayou Classic is more than a football game.--The Bayou Classic is the annual college football game between the Grambling State University Tigers and the Southern University Jaguars

The annual event is one of the Nations greatest college sports rivalries

Humm wonder if it sports related team stuff or is this another mass shooting?
 
Seems as if at this point the two arrests are because they had firearms they are not linking them to the mass shooting at this point

ages 20-37.

There are cams all over so we should get CCTV moo
 
I have a friend who told me about attending Mardi Gras (spelling?) years ago, and how crazy and violent people were. She said somebody came up and grabbed her drink from her, took a big mouthful, and when he discovered it was diet coke, and not booze, he spit it in her face. She said the entire event was crazy, and she would never attend again. This sounds about the same. Too many people at the wrong time, wrong place.

Humm wondering if drug related? This is like the fifth person in media coverage, who would only give their first name. That kinda makes me feel like this was drug/gang like event??

Also pondering that the two arrests may have had nothing to do with the actual shooting - LE, apparently was really on to no guns.
 
An argument between two tourists erupted into gunfire that killed one and injured nine others in New Orleans,

None of the victims were intended targets, Harrison said.

gunmen who killed an innocent bystander

Victim: Toliver was a tattoo artist who lived and worked in Baton Rouge, according to WWL-TV. Harrison said he was a New Orleans Center for Creative Arts graduate with a “promising future.”

Harrison said the two suspects got into an argument after running into each other on Bourbon Street. He said the men’s dispute began before they arrived in New Orleans.

from Louisiana, but not from New Orleans.


wake of the shooting, local civic and business leaders have discussed a range of ideas, including creating a six-to-seven block safe zone on Bourbon Street during busy weekends and major events. Cross streets would be blocked off and patrons would have to walk through a metal detector before entering Bourbon Street.

Almost all of the CCTV cams in New Orleans get destroyed within a month of them being put up. There can be cameras everywhere, maybe one or two still work.
 
Friends said Toliver was in town to celebrate his birthday and the Bayou Classic

He was walking with his fiancee, Latavia Smith, and a friend on the crowded block of Bourbon between Iberville and Canal streets, his friends said. As shots sounded from the direction of Canal, Toliver took off in the other direction, according to Keyaira Augustus, 25, a good friend of his fiancee who witnessed the scene.....


.................Augustus, who had dropped to the ground immediately, said she saw her friends fleeing unwittingly in the direction of a man in a white shirt pointing a gun in the air. She said she tried to call after them but it was too late.

.........Toliver lay bleeding from the neck on the ground.


......... started freaking out, saying that he was hurt and he couldn’t breathe," Augustus said. "He was panicking, calling out for his fiancee."

Toliver died in an ambulance on the way to the hospital.
