On October 7, 2022, at 11:00 PM, Kenner Police received a 911 call from a citizen who reported seeing two suspicious male subjects running across the boat launch parking lot, wearing face masks and carrying handguns.
Kenner officers who were in the casino parking lot patrolling, responded to the call and within a minute were on scene and observed the two subjects matching the description, run to and enter a vehicle parked near the boat launch parking lot.
Officers descended upon the vehicle prior to it fleeing the scene and detained both suspects. A handgun was observed in the door compartment.
