Harrison also asked the public to come forward with any information on the incident: “This was a large crowd and we know that people saw something, heard something. We need them to know that they can trust us and come to us.”

Following the tragedy, New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell spoke out in a statement to say that authorities will focus “every resource necessary to ending this horror and seeing justice done.”

“There is no place in New Orleans for this kind of violence. I speak for everyone in our city when I say we are disgusted, we are infuriated, and we have had more than enough,” she added. “Three more lives — gone. It has to end. This happened near my neighborhood, on the edge of Broadmoor. It’s unacceptable anywhere.”

Citizens with information that can help solve a crime are asked to call Crimestoppers at 504-822-1111 or toll-free 1-877-903-STOP.

So, now I just want to leave the gym feelin...
