New Orleans residents are demanding accountability over an uptick in carjackings happening more frequently in broad daylight and in one neighborhood known for its strip of bars, restaurants and shops. A man getting out of his truck shortly after 6 p.m. Thursday on Marshal Foche near Harrison Avenue in Lakeview was approached by two men who said they were armed and demanded his keys. The victim complied, and the suspects drove off. But hearing about the incident happening during a popular time for the district and on the same block as his home left longtime Lakeview resident, Felix Lepine, shaken.
"I’ve spent a lot of nights here as well, I walk right back home, and to think that the same thing could happen to you or your family or whatever, is very disturbing," Lepine told Fox 8 at the scene.

"They arrest people, and they are released, and the same thing happens again," he continued. "It’s the absence of accountability that I believe to be the biggest problem. It’s very disturbing what’s happening because I think it’s the beginning of the end for a really fine city if this keeps up."
