New Orleans (CNN) -- A suspect has been identified in a New Orleans parade shooting that left 19 people injured. Police Superintendent Ronal Serpas said that authorities are looking for 19-year-old Akein Scott.
Serpas said New Orleans police are familiar with Scott, who was arrested in March and may be out on bond.
"I would recommend strongly that Mr. Scott contact anybody who he is comfortable with to turn himself in," Serpas said.
When asked if Scott was the lone shooter, Serpas said it was still early in the investigation.
The superintendent credited several people calling a Crimestoppers tip line with helping to identify Scott.
Scott has been arrested in the past for possession of a firearm, resisting arrest and narcotics charges, among other charges, Serpas said.
Images of the parade, released by police Monday, show a man standing at the outskirts of a packed parade route. A moment later, he charges toward the crowd.
The dramatic surveillance camera images see the panicked crowd scrambling for cover. The man runs away, leaving scattered bicycles and bodies on the ground behind him.
The shooting, during a festive New Orleans Mother's Day parade, renewed concerns about crime in the city. . .

A basic understanding of the term, “confirmation bias,” helps.

Yeah, but the poor baby didn’t have a Dad in the home so we need to all cut him some slack.
No, shine it. I for one am through with all that.

Inuit.
I am quite certain this young maverick has big dreams. A real go-getter with a can-do attitude. The type of energetic wunderkind that always thinks outside the box.
I should subscribe to his newsletter as I was thinking perhaps I would like to start “Pimpin hoes” on a national scale and parlay that success into living like an “Original G”. Yo.
When good old fashioned street justice returns to prominence in America, and it will, I am not going to feel bad in the slightest.
I agree. Thanks for the link to the pic. I looked and could not find it.

He’s never going to get all of them without a high capacity mag....
The perp was on his way to go register that gun, and complete his background check, right AP?
It’s a good read.
In 1900, this type of behavior was dealt with severely by the local citizenry.
Team 0bama was hoping this gun attack would wipe his scandals out of the media. Suspect is the wrong color to get press coverage.
That’s quite a special stance he’s got going there. I wonder if the feet pointing at 7:00 o’clock, or the left hand at 6:30 does more to counteract muzzle jump.
Shock! Pure shock!!!
