Seventeen-year-old Nykobia Keller, a mother to a four-month-old boy, was shot and killed on Interstate 110 in Baton Rouge on February 25, 2023. At about 10:30 p.m. a vehicle pulled alongside Keller’s car near the Hollywood Street exit and opened fire; she managed to pull over but died at the scene. A passenger in Keller’s vehicle was uninjured.

Investigators concluded the attack was not random and say Keller was intentionally targeted and followed. Family and friends held a memorial a week later, releasing blue balloons; her mother, Lisa Keller, has publicly vowed to seek justice. As of May 2024 the case remains unsolved, no suspects have been publicly identified, and no arrests have been announced. The motive has not been disclosed.

If anyone has information about who followed or shot Keller that night, please share what you know with the Baton Rouge Police Department.
