US police are looking for a 19-year-old man identified as a suspect in the Mother's Day parade shooting in New Orleans, the largest city in Indian-American Governor Bobby Jindal's state of Louisiana, that injured 19 people.

Police are looking for one Akien Scott who has previous arrests on charges of possession of firearms, possession of narcotics and resisting arrest, New Orleans Police Chief Ronal Serpas announced Monday night.
 
‘I would recommend strongly that Mr. Scott contact anybody who he is comfortable with to turn himself in,’ Serpas was quoted as saying by CNN.

When asked if Scott was the lone shooter, Serpas said it was still early in the investigation.
