A New Orleans police officer shot and killed an armed New Iberia man on Bourbon Street after the man fired shots at bouncers and Police.
"Justin Schaubert, 25, of New Iberia, died of multiple gunshot wounds in the 500 block of Bourbon, said John Gagliano, chief investigator in the Orleans Parish coroner's office.
Schaubert was at the Bourbon Street Blues Company nightclub in the 400 block of Bourbon when he was asked to put a shirt on, said Officer Hilal Williams, a New Orleans Police Department spokeswoman. He was told that he would be ordered to leave the club if he did not do so.
Schaubert pulled out a gun and left the nightclub, Williams said. Bouncers chased him into the 500 block of Bourbon, where they tried to catch him for police.
At 3:44 a.m., Schaubert fired at the bouncers, grazing one in the back of the head, Williams said. When an NOPD officer intervened, Schaubert fired in the direction of the policeman. Officer Brian Bordes returned fire, striking Schaubert.
Schaubert died at the scene. Gagliano said the autopsy results would not be ready until today, and he could not confirm how many times Schaubert was shot or where he was shot.
The 33-year-old bouncer who was hit was treated at a local hospital and released Sunday, Williams said. Later Sunday, he declined to give his name or comment, saying that NOPD asked him not to talk to the news media.
The Bourbon Street Blues Company's management also declined comment.
Bordes will be placed on administrative reassignment pending a review by the Public Integrity Bureau, Williams said. After the investigation is completed, the findings will be handed over to the district attorney's office for review.
Homicide detective Sgt. Jimmie Turner is in charge of the investigation.
The Sunday shooting was the second on Bourbon this weekend. A nonfatal double shooting occurred late Friday night in the 100 block.
Two men were responsible for the shooting of a 51-year-old man in the arm and a 19-year-old man in his stomach. Neither injuries threatened the men's lives, Williams said."
