New Orleans police have arrested a 20-year-old man accused of carjacking a woman at gunpoint Monday afternoon on Willow Street. Ken D. Dooley, of the 8400 block of Palm Street, was booked on a count of armed robbery with a firearm on Tuesday in the carjacking case as well as on various violations tied to a shooting in Hollygrove on Monday night, authorities said.
Dooley is suspected of approaching a woman who was washing her car in the 7600 block of Willow. Holding a gun, he demanded that the victim "Get away from the car," police allege. The woman tried to reach for her purse, but Dooley allegedly said, "Get the f--- away from the car."
The woman complied, and Dooley got in the car and drove off, according to police. The vehicle, a gold Lexus RX 350, was recovered 20 minutes later from the rear of a residence in the 1700 block of Gen. Ogden Street in Hollygrove.
About 10:15 p.m. that day, a man was shot in the shoulder at the corner of Gen. Ogden and Olive streets by someone in a dark vehicle, officials say. NOPD officers responding to the shooting saw that vehicle fleeing the area without the headlights turned on and pursued it. The occupants of the car -- which was reported stolen from the 1200 block of Joliet Street -- bailed from the vehicle at the intersection of Colapissa and Mistletoe streets. Police said they caught Dooley following a brief foot chase.
Officers say they interviewed Dooley, and he identified an 18-year-old named Robashi Holmes as the shooter on Gen. Ogden and Olive. During the interview, a key to the Lexus stolen from Willow Street fell out of Dooley's pocket. The carjacking victim subsequently picked Dooley as the robber from a photographic lineup, an incident report notes.
Aside from armed robbery with a firearm, Dooley is facing counts of possession of a stolen automobile, auto burglary and possession of stolen property in regards to the car from Joliet Street. Related to the shooting, documents indicate he was jailed with flight from an officer and principal to aggravated battery. A Criminal District Court magistrate set the defendant's bail at $350,000 for the armed robbery. Bail had not been determined Wednesday on some of the other violations.
Meanwhile, police say they have obtained an arrest warrant for Holmes, who coincidentally was shot aboard an RTA bus on July 12 at the intersection of Carrollton Avenue and Palmetto Street. NOPD asks anyone who knows where Holmes is to call Crimestoppers at 504.822.1111 or toll-free at 877.903.7867.
