The New Orleans Police Department is seeking the public’s help in locating a suspect in connection with a burglary that took place in October of last year. The man identified is Dustin Michael Pierce, a White male born on July 21, 1998, whose last known address is in Marrero, LA. According to the NOPD, a court order was issued for Pierce, mandating his appearance for a buccal swab test as part of the ongoing investigation.
The burglary occurred on the 4000 block of MacArthur Boulevard on October 11, 2024. Investigators obtained a court order directing Pierce to submit a buccal swab sample, which is vital, in their efforts to move the investigation forward. Pierce has thus far been elusive, and law enforcement is turning to the community for assistance to track his whereabouts. The NOPD believes public collaboration stands as a critical component in the apprehension and subsequent prosecution of suspects.
