17-year-old Jason Ford and 18-year-old Germain Hurlston are wanted in connection with an armed robbery Jan. 27, on Austerlitz and Tchoupitoulas Streets in the Irish Channel. Police say around 11 p.m., the armed teens approached two men and demanded their property. When they complied, police say one of the victims then pulled out a pistol and shot the pair, who then ran away.
Investigators said Ford and Hurlston were later found in the 3900 block of Tchoupitoulas Street suffering from gunshot wounds. They were brought to the hospital by ambulance, and police say they were treated and released.
Investigators say a pistol was later recovered at the scene of the robbery, and detectives identified Ford and Hurlston through further investigation of the case. Once caught, the two will be booked with armed robbery.
Police said the robbery victims were not charged for the shooting.
