The NOPD is investigating a homicide that occurred this evening (February 15, 2026) in the 13500 block of Granville Street, in the Seventh District.
The New Orleans Police Department’s Eighth District is investigating an increase in pickpocketing incidents that began on February 13, 2026, in the French Quarter. As a result of this investigation, detectives have recovered 71 cell phones, numerous identification cards, and credit cards believed to have been stolen during these incidents. Five suspects have been arrested in connection with these crimes.
NEW ORLEANS —Mayor Helena Moreno issues the following statement on inappropriate Mardi Gras floats:
“Let me be clear: the display is deeply offensive, unacceptable, and has no place in our city. New Orleans is built on respect, diversity, and inclusion. Actions that seek to demean or intimidate any member of our community violate the very spirit of who we are. Our celebrations, particularly those where our children and families attend, should be spaces of joy and unity, not exposure to hateful or harmful imagery."
The New Orleans Police Department is investigating a homicide that occurred today in the Sixth District at the intersection of Saint Andrew and Saint Thomas Street.
The New Orleans Police Department’s Sixth District is seeking six additional suspects in connection with a violent altercation that occurred during Mardi Gras festivities.
New Orleans Police are asking the public's assistance with identifying a suspect wanted for package theft.
On Thursday, February 12, 2026, at 8:50 p.m., the New Orleans Fire Department (NOFD) was dispatched to a reported fire involving a dwelling at 7442 Springlake Dr. in New Orleans East.
NEW ORLEANS – Today, Mayor Helena Moreno signed an Executive Order prohibiting any public official from entering a “287(g) agreement,” the main method by which ICE deputizes local law enforcement to conduct immigration enforcement operations.
“Immigration enforcement is not the mission of the New Orleans Police Department – it never has been and it won’t be under my watch. NOPD will never ask for anyone’s immigration status and will not be deputized under ICE,” Mayor Helena Moreno said. “NOPD’s priority is public safety — responding to violent crime, protecting residents, and building trust in our communities. We will always comply with state law while simultaneously protecting New Orleanians.”
