New Orleans police are investigating a fatal shooting of a 26-year-old man who was allegedly brandishing a handgun and sexually assaulting a woman, Thursday night in the Bywater.

The name of the man has not been released pending notification of family members.

The shooting happened in the 3800 block of N. Rampart Street, near the intersection of Alvar and N. Rampart streets, at about 9:30 p.m.

According to an NOPD spokesman Officer Garry Flot, the 26-year-old man approached an adult male and female as they were walking, produced a handgun, and demanded that they walk to a building that was being renovated.

Once they entered the yard, the man sexually assaulted the woman, at which time the male that was with her disarmed the 26-year-old and fatally shot him.

Detectives recovered the handgun from the scene and are in the process of determining the origin of the weapon.

The male and female victims were interviewed and released.

Authorities also discovered that Raines had served about seven years in prison and had a criminal history in the area dating back to 2006 which included gun charges – which were downgraded to a misdemeanor marijuana charge – as well as kidnapping, purse snatching and auto theft.

Once the investigation is completed, the case will be turned over to the prosecutor, but no charges are expected to be filed against the man who delivered the fatal shots.

“That’s where my little one goes to school,” a woman commented as she watched authorities scour the area during the investigation. “Wonder if there’s going to be classes tomorrow.” She added.

But school was back in session the following day and appeared unaffected by the events which occurred the night before.
