As police responded, they say they got a second call about several gunshots fired near The Masons Apartment Complex that they were told were possibly coming from a black SUV.
Arriving officers found a black Cadillac Escalade turning onto Old Spanish Trail from Town Center Parkway. When officers tried to stop the car, it fled.
Officers pursued the car into New Orleans. Three men got out and ran, according to Slidell police.
A police K-9 found and apprehended one suspect, who was hiding underneath a raised house. Officers found a second suspect hiding behind a shed in the backyard of a home with a firearm that Slidell PD says was discovered to be stolen.
Officers searched the SUV and say they found a dead man in the back seat. They say he suffered an apparent gunshot wound.
Investigators determined the four people in the Black SUV went to the Slidell-area apartment complexes to steal vehicles. As they tried to steal one from The Masons, police say the owner heard an alarm and tried to intervene. An exchange of gunfire erupted between the vehicle's owner and the suspects, resulting in the one being hit by gunfire.
