Mario Fat Harris Sr., 52, was found dead from multiple gunshot wounds inside a vehicle on Interstate 10 East near the Esplanade Avenue exit in New Orleans in the early morning of January 15, 2022. First District officers found him unresponsive at about 3 a.m.; he was pronounced dead at the scene. A 45-year-old woman who was in the vehicle also suffered gunshot injuries and was taken to a hospital for treatment.

In March 2022 police released images of a vehicle of interest, described as a white Acura with a temporary license plate, and asked the public for help. No arrests or suspect identifications have been publicly disclosed. Harris, a John McDonogh High School graduate, was described by family as a warehouse supervisor and truck driver.

If anyone has information about that morning on I-10 near Esplanade Avenue or about the white Acura seen in March 2022, please share what you know.
