Asia Davis was 28 when she was found dead on the morning of Thursday, May 11, 2023, at the intersection of Mayo Boulevard and the South I-10 service road in the New Orleans area. Investigators determined she had been shot and then run over with an SUV.

In the weeks before her death Davis had made two 911 calls reporting domestic abuse. Dispatch records show the New Orleans Police Department took about 12 hours to respond on both occasions; by the time officers arrived the incidents were recorded as gone on arrival. Those delays and the downgrading of her calls have drawn scrutiny.

The investigation led to the arrest of her ex-boyfriend, Henry Talley Jr., initially booked on second-degree murder. A grand jury later indicted him on first-degree murder; he also faces firearm possession and stalking charges. He has pleaded not guilty. The state announced it will not seek the death penalty; the family says they want the harshest punishment available, and have attended hearings regularly.

If anyone knew Asia, her movements the week before May 11, or has information about the shooting or the vehicle used, please share it with investigators.
