Authorities have arrested the suspect wanted in a Mother’s Day parade shooting that wounded 19 people in New Orleans, police said.<\/p>\n
Akein Scott<\/strong>, 19, was arrested Wednesday night in the Little Woods section of eastern New Orleans, police department spokeswoman Remi Braden said. She said no additional details were available and would not be until Thursday morning.<\/p>\n Police previously said Scott <\/strong>had an arrest record involving drug and weapon charges.<\/p>\n Video released Monday showed a crowd gathered for the Sunday parade suddenly scattering in all directions, with some falling to the ground. They appear to be running from a man in a white T-shirt and dark pants who turns and runs out of the picture. Police said they identified the suspect from the surveillance camera images.<\/p>\n As many as 400 people had come out for the event. Officers were interspersed with the marchers, which is routine for such events. The crime scene was about a mile-and-a-half from the heart of the city’s French Quarter.<\/p>\n Two children were among those wounded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Authorities have arrested the suspect wanted in a Mother’s Day parade shooting that wounded 19 people in New Orleans, police said.
