A Louisiana woman shot to death in a car riddled with bullets while her young son was in the backseat has been identified by family members.
In broad daylight, police say an unknown gunman opened fire on a vehicle in the 2700 block of Orleans Avenue. The shooting claimed the life of 33-year-old Sully Simmons.
“It’s concerning, cleary. It did rock our community as a whole,” says Mayor Latoya Cantrell.
Simmons’ 1-year-old son was strapped in a car seat in the backseat of the vehicle as the bullets were flying.
“What I am happy about, I would say, is that the 2-year-old is in good care, but it’s definitely under investigation,” says Cantrell.
Hours before Simmons was killed, she posted on social media to commemorate the birthday of her sister, who was murdered 14 years ago while pregnant.
