NEW ORLEANS (AP) - New Orleans police say a 41-year-old man was fatally shot late Christmas night.
Spokesman Gary Scheets says officers answered a call about a shooting about 11:45 p.m. and found the body of a man who’d been shot multiple times.
He says in an email that the body was in an apartment, but he does not know whether the man lived there.
A police news release originally said the man was 76, but the department corrected the age later Tuesday.
Police said investigators did not know a motive Tuesday, and the coroner’s office would release the victim’s name after an autopsy and notification of his family.
