Eric Davis, 25, was fatally shot on the evening of Tuesday, February 26, 2019, while a passenger in a vehicle with cousins. The group had just left a restaurant on Bluebonnet Boulevard and was northbound on Interstate 110 near the Government Street exit around 9:20 p.m. when gunfire came from a passing dark-colored sedan and struck their car.

The driver sped to a hospital in north Baton Rouge, but Davis died of his wounds. Two other passengers, a 23-year-old male and a 17-year-old male, were injured but survived. The Baton Rouge Police Department opened a homicide investigation, confirmed the shots came from a passing vehicle, and said there was no known motive or suspects.

Davis’s cousin Pamela Coleman described him as a father with no enemies who was not involved in gangs or street life. No arrests have been announced; anyone with information is asked to come forward.
