New Orleans, La.- The New Orleans Police Department is looking for 20-year-old Darius Byrd who is wanted for two counts of aggravated battery by shooting that occurred on December 22 in the 2900 block of Lawrence Street.

Byrd is also wanted for an outstanding Municipal Attachment and has previously been arrested for possession of stolen property and trespassing.
