NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA – U.S. Attorney Duane A. Evans announced that on Wednesday, August 10, 2022, BRIYAN LOVE, an Orleans Parish resident, pled guilty as charged to a violation of Accessory After the Fact to Murder. 

LOVE pled guilty to Count One of the indictment, charging her with Accessory After the Fact to Murder, a violation of Title 18, United States Code, § 3. At sentencing, LOVE faces a maximum sentence of 15 years imprisonment, up to a $125,000 fine, up to 3 years of supervised release, and a mandatory special assessment fee of $100.

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.

The case was investigated by the New Orleans Police Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.  It is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys Elizabeth Privitera, Inga Petrovich, and David Haller of the Violent Crime Unit of the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
