NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - Six inmates and a sheriff’s supervisor at the Orleans Parish Jail needed emergency medical treatment after deputies believe they found drugs in the facility this weekend. It happened Sunday night around 8:30 p.m. in Housing Unit 3F.

This city’s new mayor-elect prays many times a day, for big things and small ones and often, she says, to a holy guardian known for helping defy lost causes.

New Orleans Mayor-elect Helena Moreno is set to announce key members of her administration including a very familiar face.

The New Orleans City Council on Monday unanimously adopted a $1.6 billion operating budget for 2026, closing a projected $222.4 million deficit and aiming to stabilize city finances after a year marked by a payroll scare and warnings of possible state intervention.

The Jefferson Parish Coroner's Office has identified the inmate who died while in custody at the Jefferson Parish Correctional Center. Kelvin Maxie, 68, of New Orleans, was pronounced dead Nov. 27 at the jail in Gretna.

On the stand, all survivors expressed anger and frustration with the archdiocese for doing more to protect such predators than their victims. Some directed their frustration at outgoing Archbishop Gregory Aymond, who sat watching and listening to the testimony at a table just feet away.
