Late on March 26, 2016, Jibran Martinez, 33, was driving westbound on Interstate 10 in New Orleans when his silver, late-model Toyota 4Runner was struck by gunfire just after 9:30 p.m. Officers found Martinez unresponsive behind the wheel near the Interstate 610 split; the driver side and windshield were riddled with bullet holes and he had suffered multiple gunshot wounds. Paramedics pronounced him dead at the scene.

Two passengers survived: a 35-year-old man in the front seat was wounded in the left shoulder and taken to a hospital; he told investigators he heard gunfire and glass breaking but could not see where shots came from. A third occupant, asleep in the back, woke to gunfire and saw an unknown man run toward another vehicle ahead of the 4Runner before fleeing. Detectives publicly asked for help identifying whoever was responsible but did not name a suspect, describe another vehicle, or announce arrests.

A moving vehicle was struck on a major interstate, survivors heard but saw little, and a fleeing figure remains the key lead. Does anyone who was on I-10 near the 610 split that night remember seeing a vehicle or person matching that description?
