Jibran Gotay-Martinez, 32, was shot to death late on the night of March 26, 2016, while driving a silver Toyota 4Runner on Interstate 10 in New Orleans. Police were called just after 9:30 p.m. to the westbound lanes near the Interstate 610 split and found him slumped and unresponsive in the driver’s seat, struck multiple times. Paramedics pronounced him dead at the scene.

Investigators reported the 4Runner had been riddled with bullet holes, including in the driver’s side and the windshield. Two other people were inside: a 35-year-old front-seat passenger who suffered a gunshot wound to the left shoulder and told officers he heard gunfire and glass breaking but did not see where the shots came from, and a back-seat passenger who said they awoke to the shooting and saw an unidentified man run toward another vehicle ahead of them before fleeing.

Police asked the public for help identifying the shooter, but early reports did not name a suspect or announce an arrest. If anyone saw the 4Runner or the scene that night, or knows more about who ran to the other vehicle, please share what was seen.
