Shortly before 3 a.m. on May 6, 2013, the westbound lanes of Interstate 10 near the Metairie Road exit in New Orleans were the scene of a fatal shooting. A silver Nissan Maxima carrying two men was struck by gunfire; both occupants were taken to a nearby hospital. The passenger, 25-year-old Travis Thomas, died of his injuries and was later identified by the Orleans Parish Coroner’s Office. An obituary lists him as Travis Nathaniel Thomas, born May 12, 1987. The 23-year-old driver was reported in stable condition.

The shooting closed the interstate for nearly two hours while officers processed the scene. No arrests, suspects, or motive have been disclosed in the years since, and who shot and killed Travis Thomas remains unresolved. If anyone has information about the vehicle, the shooting, or the people involved that could help, please share what is known.
