New Orleans mayor indicted for fraud over police relationship
Aug. 16 (UPI) -- New Orleans Mayor Latoya Cantrell is facing federal wire fraud and conspiracy charges after being indicted this week along with a former member of her security detail. Cantrell and retired New Orleans Police Department officer Jeffrey Vappie were both indicted for conspiracy to commit wire fraud and other charges after Vappie was allegedly paid for official duty while the two were engaged in "personal activities," according to a statement issued by the Justice Department. Authorities contend the two began a relationship in 2021, during which time Vappie was paid as an on-duty member of Cantrell's personal security team. Vappie retired in 2004. "They embarked on a scheme to defraud the City of New Orleans and NOPD by exploiting Vappie's job and Cantrell's authority as Mayor to have the City and NOPD pay Vappie's salary and expenses during times Vappie claimed to be on duty but when the was actually engaged in personal activities, often with Cantrell," the Justice Department indictment reads. The allegations contend Vappie and Cantrell's activities extended to out-of-state trips. Cantrell allegedly shifted policy and started bringing members of her Executive Protection Unit on the out-of-state trips around five months after Vappie joined the EPU. "Cantrell said she would 'make it happen' to have Vappie accompany her on a three-day trip to Washington, D.C., a trip that they both agreed that they 'needed,'" the Justice Department statement reads. The City of New Orleans was billed over $70,000 on Vappie's behalf for the three-day trip. The couple also allegedly used a city-owned apartment during their relationship. Cantrell was elected in 2018 after serving as a Member of the New Orleans City Council, making her the first female mayor in the city's history. Cantrell has not commented publicly on the allegations. Police say the pair tried to hide the affair and have recovered thousands of texts and pictures from the What'sApp messaging platform. Both are charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud and conspiracy to obstruct justice. Vappie also faces twelve counts of wire fraud. Cantrell is also named in six of the latter charges. Additionally, Vappie is charged with making a false statement to the FBI, while Cantrell faces two counts of making a false declaration before a grand jury. Solve the daily Crossword

Teenager is one of two victims killed in Seventh Ward shooting
NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — The New Orleans Police Department is investigating a triple shooting in the Seventh Ward that left two victims dead. According to NOPD officers, around 9:20 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 12, they were alerted of a shooting in the 2100 block of Allen Street. Responding officers arrived to find three people suffering from gunshot wounds. Officers said two men were taken to a hospital for treatment by EMS where one, 37-year-old Brent McDonald was pronounced dead. A third victim, 17-year-old De'Von Franklin, was taken by car but later died from his wounds at 1:30 a.m. Aug. 13. Trial delay for case involving former New Orleans 911 Director Tyrell Morris The condition of the third victim is unknown. 'Innocent people, car gets shot and then we got to pay for it. I got bullet holes in my car,' said a Seventh Ward resident. A triple shooting in the Seventh Ward on Tuesday night has left two people, including a 17-year-old, and another person injured. It has also left the neighborhood shaken up. 'They got bullet shots all on the bark of the tree. Got blood all around the corner by me,' said a Seventh Ward resident. One woman says she was woken up by the sound of gunshots. While surveying the damage, she noticed that one bullet went through a neighbor's window. 'So close, so we didn't know where it was. So, we waited a while and came out the door to see what was going on, and nobody was hurt. And then we find all our vehicles, with all these gunshot bullets,' said a nearby neighbor where the shooting occurred. The woman says the city needs to install streetlights and crime cameras to better protect the neighborhood. 'All these lights are off, it's dark. We try to keep the lights on because all these people are homeowners, and we are not going anywhere. But we need a light, and we would love to have a crime camera. And it's 100, 100 block of Allen Street,' said the neighbor. Grandmother accused of kidnapping 7-year-old New Orleans City Councilman Eugene Green, whose district includes the Seventh Ward, hopes the city can stop this cycle of violence. 'There can be no assumptions that anything is acceptable in our city relative to violent crime or property crimes. We can be a city with no crime. It's going to take some time, but the best alternative to crime is people choosing to do something else,' Green said. Green also says resources are available to those who need help through this difficult time. 'Whether it be in terms of trauma recovery, where whether it be in terms of just mental health services, gun violence reduction, come into City Hall and say, I need some help. Take advantage of some of the resources that we've made available to young people and adults,' said Green. As far as lighting goes along the street, the Housing Authority-New Orleans sent a statement: 'The Housing Authority of New Orleans has taken steps to address concerns regarding lighting on and around HANO properties. A comprehensive assessment of lighting across all Hano properties has been completed and is pending a final report. Ensuring the safety and well-being of our residents is our top priority. Hano hired former NOPD police chief Michael Harrison earlier this year to guide how to maintain a safe environment for our residents.' The Orleans Parish Coroner's Office will release the identities of the victims after autopsies are done and families are notified. No further details are available at this time.
