Today, while working jobs in Treme, NOMB sees a whte man with pompador and tattoos hanging flyers in all the telephone poles. As the neighbors hang around the corners and the porches, this man put up his posters advertising a $3000 reward fo infomation on his friend who was murdered in July.
NOMB kept working, moving through the hood and watching for the words:
New Orleans Police are investigating the murder of a man this morning in the 7th Ward.
Patrol officers responded shortly before 8 a.m. to a house in the 2400 block of New Orleans Street and found a man lying on the ground with gunshot wounds to the body, according to a news release.
Think you can just stand around? Check this..
Bullets meant for a group of juveniles in Central City missed their mark Monday and sent two innocent bystanders into surgery, New Orleans police said.
The women, 23 and 21, were in the 3000 block of First Street about 5:30 p.m. when a dark-colored car passed. People in the car fired at a group of juveniles, said Sabrina Richardson, a police public information officer. She said the attackers missed their intended targets, and bullets hit the women below their waists.
And, just to recap for all you listeners out there:
New Orleans police were busy over the weekend, investigating eight unrelated shootings that killed one person and sent eight more to the hospital. One of the shootings involved a police officer who shot and wounded a 22-year-old man near North Claiborne Avenue and Annette Street in the 7th Ward, according to police records.

Sleeping
That's what we've been doing: What ya'll be doing?
Four people were shot, including one wounded by police, in about an hour's time Sunday evening, New Orleans police said.
The police shooting occurred after a confrontation near St. Bernard Avenue and Annette Street in the 7th Ward about 7:20 p.m. About 7:45 p.m., a man and woman were shot in the 3100 block of Copernicus Street in Algiers. The incident took place near Murl Street, about a block north of Wall Boulevard.
And about 8:15 p.m., a man was shot in the 1000 block of Josephine Street, in the Lower Garden District. Someone drove the victim from the scene, between Constance and Magazine streets, to Touro Infirmary
Looks like ya'll been hella busy with the shootings
Also:
A woman who was shot in Kenner Sunday was found outside Clearview Shopping Center in Metairie, Kenner police said.
The logistics of this sentece are confusing, Times-Picayune. Do you mean she was shot earlier in Kenner, then found in Metairie. Or perhaps the knew she was shot, but didn't know where she went, then found here hanging out at Orange Julias (sic)? Eitherway...

The Morning After
The yelling in the bullpen. The sulking Saints fans. The quiet block and the angry sushi chef. Only one thing can come from this...
A Metairie woman was shot dead in front of her home this morning in a blighted neighborhood near Mike Miley Playground.
Jefferson Parish sheriff's deputies said Jackie Craig, 24, wounded in the chest, was pronounced dead at the scene outside 319 Eisenhower Ave. They had no immediate suspects or motive. Witnesses reported hearing Craig arguing with someone, then gunshots rocked the street.
Gunshots "rocked" the street? The Times-Picayune is writing some good sentences these days.
How many murders can we really have in N.O. East before someone takes some action. NOMB supposes that the murders could be perpetrated in the city and then dumped out in no man's land, but still.
A 25-year-old New Orleans man was found dead late Wednesday in a car in eastern New Orleans.
Police received a report of gunfire shortly before midnight near the intersection of Hayne Boulevard and Trapier Avenue, said Sgt. Joe Narcisse, a New Orleans Police Department spokesman.

Voyerism vol. 2
This one just made us stop and read:
A Terrytown teenager was booked with murder Tuesday in the shooting of a Marrero man in July, and he also will face attempted murder charges in New Orleans involving a double shooting in Algiers last month.
Kendrick Woolridge, 17, of 917 E. Monterey Court, was booked with second-degree murder, illegally carrying a weapon, resisting a police officer and battery of a police officer with injury. He is accused in the fatal shooting of Robert Wilson, 42, in the 900 block of Beechgrove Boulevard near Westwego on July 16. Woolridge is being held in lieu of $760,000 bond at the Jefferson Parish Correctional Center, but also has a hold on his release because of warrants from New Orleans police.
This one is recently relevent:
Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office investigators are trying to determine who shot an intoxicated pedestrian who then ran into a Metairie convenience store and collapsed Wednesday afternoon.
Don't worry though, he's gonna live.

Laboring Day
We work, even when aren't supposed to, us non-profit professionals. We make phone calls. We worry. Our empathy - a weapon used against us.
The killers in the street, yea, they working too:
A 27-year-old man was shot to death Monday afternoon in Hollygrove, New Orleans police said.
The shooting occurred about 2 p.m. in the 8600 block of Belfast Street. The victim, who was found lying in the street with several wounds to the head and body, was pronounced dead at the scene by emergency responders.
My beat, kids:
Two men were shot in the 7th Ward on Sunday evening after a man began firing a gun at St. Bernard Avenue and Marais Street, New Orleans police said.
Two men, ages 20 and 40, were injured, police spokesman Garry Flot said. Their wounds were not thought to be life-threatening, he said. The attacker fled on foot, Flot said.
A Marrero man was in critical condition Monday evening after being found shot in the chest in an empty lot about a mile from his home, authorities said.
Jefferson Parish sheriff's deputies found Brandon Washington, 19, in the 1600 block of Julie Street in Marrero, around 8:30 p.m. Monday.
Let's all take a moment off our feet and sit a spell.

Vacation
In Mississippi, kids go to house parties, drunks drive their cars into the front window of the local record store, and there is a scandal. Someone, two white males in their early 20's have spraypainted "Wake up Hattiesburg," on city hall and the Vietnam memorial downtown prompting an op-ed piece about graffiti effecting growth.
Back home, we got this:
Two men were shot, one fatally, in separate incidents Friday night and Saturday morning in Kenner, police said.
Kenner officers found Lorocco Goliday, 26, of 719 Veterans Memorial Blvd., Apt. C, lying in the street in front of 2734 Helena St. on Saturday about 12:22 a.m., Detective Shaun Watson said.
Also:
In the other incident, Kenner police on foot patrol Friday about 11:30 p.m. saw a man and woman who appeared to be arguing in front of 328 ½ Taylor St. Officers said they saw the man, later identified as Andrae Thompson, 24, of 907 Beauregard St., Ville Platte, take out a handgun and rob the woman of her purse.
As the officers approached, they said, Thompson pointed his handgun at one of the officers, who shot him once in his right arm.
Plus, will this make the numbers? Why do we care? Because. We do.
A man who was shot during a brutal home invasion in eastern New Orleans on Aug. 24 has died, the Orleans Parish coroner's office said Sunday.
Boon Roopmoh, 48, is the third person to die as a result of the attack in the 4800 block of Savoie Court. He was one of seven people who were forced by two gunmen into a house in the Village de l'Est neighborhood where they were robbed and shot. They had been sitting under a carport
