Nearby: Algiers, LAA New Orleans courtroom is hearing a case stemming from a 2018 shooting on General De Gaulle Drive in Algiers. Dermell Lewis and Corey Major are on trial on charges tied to the shooting of Corey Juluke; an earlier trial ended with jurors deadlocked. A trial over the May 24, 2018, shooting was underway in New Orleans, according to nola.com. Prosecutors presented evidence of 19 assault-rifle rounds and additional shots from a .40-caliber handgun. Juluke's Testimony at 2024 Trial: Lewis Wasn't the Shooter At the 2024 trial, Corey Juluke testified, “I saw who shot me, and it wasn't Dermell Lewis,” according to nola.com's account. Juluke said he had known Lewis for 35 years; both were 7th Ward natives. Juluke's reluctance to name his alleged shooters became a central issue in the case. Prosecutors attributed his reluctance to his criminal past. Juluke reportedly said, “If I die, tell my brother Slim shot me,” and escaped the ambush by jumping into another vehicle.

Nearby: Algiers, LAA brazen gun battle in Algiers eight years ago played out in late-afternoon traffic and left dozens of people “trapped in the middle of gunfire on General de Gaulle Drive,” a prosecutor said Monday. “In the moment, people were just thinking about getting out alive,” Assistant Attorney General Daniel Smart told a jury as a retrial got underway for two men accused in the violence. Smart said defendant Dermell Lewis ran down the busy street firing rounds from two rifles, an SKS and an AK-47, one in each hand. When one jammed, he pulled out a .40-caliber pistol as alleged accomplice Corey Major kept pace in a white truck, Smart said. Prosecutors said a white truck and a Toyota Camry pulled up beside Corey Juluke in traffic, and Lewis and others fired 19 rounds at him. “This wasn’t a carjacking. This wasn’t a robbery. This was an assassination attempt,” said Smart. The problem for prosecutors: Juluke, 55, claims otherwise. “I saw a person I never saw before shooting me.

Nearby: New Orleans, LANEW YORK — The U.S. flu season is off to a very early start, and it’s quickly intensifying. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Friday posted its latest update, reporting that seven states were reporting high flu activity last week, up from two states the week before. The CDC also said that more than 3% of doctors’ office visits last week were for flu-like illness, signaling that flu season is really underway. Louisiana is seeing the worst of it so far. Flu season “is taking off and it’s taking off in a direction that’s only likely to increase in the next month or two,” said Dr. Fred Lopez, an infectious diseases specialist at the LSU Health Sciences Center in New Orleans. “If you haven’t been vaccinated, you should get vaccinated now,” he added. The early-season flu activity is higher than what’s usually seen at this point of the year, though it’s not clear that will mean this season will be worse than others, according to CDC’s update.

Nearby: New Orleans, LAA tanker in New Orleans that apparently lost its steering slammed into a docked river cruise boat with 180 people aboard Friday, the mayor said. All aboard survived after the crash prompted a massive rescue operation for passengers and crew who plunged into the Mississippi River as the ship took on water and began to topple over. Video from the scene showed the much larger Atlantic Asphalt tanker hit the cruise boat while it was docked as metal and glass crashed and crunched.
