NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — The New Orleans Police Department reported the arrest of 18-year-old Tyrese Harris in an unarmed carjacking investigation that left a woman hospitalized on Feb. 1.

The incident occurred before 3 p.m. when Harris allegedly jumped into the driver’s seat and drove off while the owner of the vehicle, a 45-year-old woman, was pumping gas on the passenger side at the Costco fuel station located in the 3800 block of South Carrollton Avenue.
