Description
The New Orleans Police Department has arrested a suspect after two men were fatally shot in Central City Thursday morning.
A family member identified the victims as Douglas Patterson and his adult son Dalton Reeder.
The shooting happened at about 4:20 a.m. on the corner of S. White Street and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. Detectives say police responded to a call of shots fired and found one man shot dead and another man also fatally shot and lying in the driveway.
Police arrested 21-year-old Ronell Reeder after he turned himself in while they were investigating the scene.
Reeder will be booked into the Orleans Parish Justice Center on two counts of second-degree murder.
"All of violent crime, all violent, is tragic, and is disconcerting for neighbors for our city," said Chief Kirkpatrick.
Anyone with additional information that can help in this investigation is urged to contact NOPD Homicide Section detectives at 504-658-5300.
