Authorities in New Orleans have caught the man they say fired the first shot in a deadly exchange of gunfire last weekend in the city 's French Quarter , police said Friday . An arrest warrant was issued Friday morning for Trung Le -- a 20-year-old from nearby Belle Chasse , Louisiana -- on one count of first-degree murder and nine counts of attempted first-degree murder , police said . Police Officer Hilal Williams told CNN by e-mail early Friday evening that police officers and U.S . Marshals had apprehended Le . Authorities have not named any additional suspects in the case besides Le , Williams added . The shooting took place about 2:45 a.m. Sunday on the 700 block of Bourbon Street , a popular gathering place for tourists and revelers who pack bars and clubs between St. Peter and St. Ann streets and often spill into the streets . Authorities announced Wednesday that 21-year-old Brittany Thomas died of her wounds from that shooting . Nine others were wounded . After the incident , New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu appealed for help to combat violence in his city . Specifically , he asked President Barack Obama to send a `` targeted surge team '' of federal law enforcement officers to help stem crime and Louisiana Gov . Bobby Jindal to assign 100 state police officers to the city and rededicate a penny from the hotel/motel tax from the convention center to the city for public safety . `` These kinds of incidents will not go unanswered , '' Landrieu has said . `` These perpetrators will be brought to justice . '' Earlier this week , homicide detectives interviewed a 20-year-old man in connection with the shooting -- but it was n't Le . Justin Odom was interviewed with his attorney present , according to police . The 20-year-old was arrested and booked on unrelated traffic and shoplifting charges by police in nearby Gretna . Williams told CNN on Friday that Odom was then released .
No other suspects have been named yet , a New Orleans police officer says . Police , U.S . Marshals arrest 20-year-old Trung Le on a murder charge . Police say he fired the first shot in last Sunday 's shooting . 1 woman died , 9 were wounded in the incident on Bourbon Street .
