A New Orleans man has been remanded into custody at Dodds Prison after a nine-member jury found him guilty by a majority verdict of possessing a firearm and ammunition without the necessary licences.

D’Nairo Greaves, of Third Avenue, New Orleans, was convicted eight-one that on July 20, 2022, he had in his possession a ‘19 Gen 4’ 9mm Luger calibre pistol without a valid licence and 14 rounds of ammunition without a valid permit.

It was the State’s case that police went to a Bush Hall house and on arrival saw Greaves at a window with a firearm. He ran from the window and was subsequently caught in the yard, and a firearm was found on the living room floor.
