Man dies in shooting in Faubourg Marigny
An unidentified man was shot dead Tuesday night while allegedly trying to rob a woman in Faubourg Marigny, New Orleans police said.
Police said the woman, 27, and a male companion, 28, were walking about 8:45 p.m. in the 2200 block of North Rampart Street when another man held a handgun against the woman's back and demanded money, said Garry Flot, a police public information officer.
Her companion, who has a concealed weapon permit, pulled his own handgun and shot the gunman several times, police said.
The gunman, who had no identification on him, died at the scene, between Elysian Fields Avenue and Marigny Street.
The case is under investigation, but no charges were filed Tuesday night.
