Natalie Simsick was 31 when her body was found on the morning of October 21, 2014, in a vacant lot in the 800 block of North Roman Street in New Orleans. Investigators determined she had been shot multiple times; at least one report indicated a gunshot wound to the head. Her death was ruled a homicide.

The New Orleans Police Department identified a person of interest, April Davis, who authorities wanted to question about Simsick’s killing. Before detectives could interview Davis, Davis was herself murdered. No arrests have been announced in Simsick’s case and the investigation remains open. A reward has been offered and law enforcement has periodically asked the public for information.

If anyone knew Natalie, April Davis, or has information about activity in the 800 block of North Roman Street around October 21, 2014, please come forward to investigators.
