Jason do you mind updating this article with the newly available footage video? It seems like people are focusing on this picture alone instead of viewing the better footage.

The closes Camry tail light on a Camry that's close to video that I found is the 2009 model. The 2012 model has a cut up tail light.

I’m not sure if I agree with NOPD’s conclusion unless if they have a clearer video. The back light doesn’t seem to match. http://wgno.com/2016/01/11/nop…

Great work guys. I wish we could re create this at the French quarter and ask the owner of the video camera to confirm this.

Could it be a Ford Fusion? The tail light has a distinct shape.

Based on this news that I found: http://www.nola.com/politics/index… The garbage can appears to be a 35 gallon trash can. We also need to take into account the perspective from the camera’s point of view.
