I think that addy on Klein is a Sprint/Nextel address (Sprint/Nextel was referenced on the JPSO report) ... so not necessarily an addy associated with the 911 caller himself but the phone the caller was using or the cell phone provider??
If you google <"249 Klein" Westwego> (without the <>) , a master lease agreement comes up between Sprint and various addys, one of which is the Klein addy.

when I first saw the sprint/Nextel reference to the 911 call -- and that the addy was a business on Klein st etc.....I thought of a business walkie talkie (push to talk) often used in dispatch etc so perhaps the 911 caller may have been a person working on railroad or in the adjacent factories ? I understood it was a direct radio to base station as well as a cell phone.

"Nextel's signature feature is its fast push-to-talk function, which resembles a walkie-talkie. It once made Nextel popular with outdoor workers such as construction crews"
