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.”
