A man is in jail after being arrested for allegedly stabbing another man to death on Bourbon Street shortly after midnight on Tuesday, New Orleans police said.
Darnell Hunter, 33, was booked into the Orleans Justice Center at around 10:48 a.m. Tuesday on one count of second-degree murder, one count of possession of drug paraphernalia and one count of possession of amphetamines, as well as on two existing warrants.
Police believe Hunter approached the victim in the 600 block of Bourbon Street and stabbed him at least once before fleeing on foot. NOPD aided the victim, who was lying on a sidewalk, before EMS took him to a hospital, where he died.
Anyone with information about the killing may contact NOPD Homicide Section detectives at 504-658-5300.
Hunter's bond is scheduled to be set Wednesday.
