NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA – JUSTIN HENRY, age 41, of New Orleans, Louisiana, was sentenced on August 17, 2023 by U.S. District Judge Carl J. Barbier to 100 months of imprisonment followed by three years of supervised release, along with a $100 mandatory special assessment fee, for being a felon in possession of a firearm, announced U.S. Attorney Duane A.

This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a program bringing together all levels of law enforcement and the communities they serve to reduce violent crime and gun violence, and to make our neighborhoods safer for everyone. On May 26, 2021, the Department launched a violent crime reduction strategy strengthening PSN based on these core principles: fostering trust and legitimacy in our communities, supporting community-based organizations that help prevent violence from occurring in the first place, setting focused and strategic enforcement priorities, and measuring the results.

This case was investigated by the Department of Homeland Security, Homeland Security Investigations and the New Orleans Police Department. Assistant United States Attorney David Berman of the Violent Crimes Unit handled the prosecution.
