New Orleans police are investigating a shooting that left a woman dead on an Interstate 10 service road in West Lake Forest Thursday morning.

Police responded to the shooting at the intersection of Mayo Boulevard and South I-10 Service Road at around 9:01 a.m. They found a woman lying in the street suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

Neighbors identified the victim as Asia Davis. They said she was a certified nursing assistant who had formerly worked at Inspired Living, an assisted living facility in Kenner. Always put together, with immaculate hair and accessories, she was quick to greet her neighbors. Davis was mother to a 5-year-old girl who graduated from kindergarten last week.

"She was a good person," said neighbor Ashley Lewis, who said Davis moved into the neighborhood about two years ago.

Police have not disclosed the identity of a shooter or a motive. But as detectives questioned a man at the scene who identified the victim as his daughter, he described his daughter's relationship with a man who he believed became violent.

He said he had urged her to "leave him alone." Family members declined to be interviewed.

Neighbors said the shooting left Lewis fatally wounded in front of her apartment complex, prone in the middle of the service road, in clear view of passing Interstate 10 commuters and school buses, for a long time before police arrived to shield her from public view. 

"You could see the body laying in the street," said Sean "Big Skin" Bonakies, 54, who saw the homicide scene as he drove down the interstate on his way to Home Depot. "I'm surprised it didn't cause another accident."

He blamed several factors, including media companies and musical artists, for creating a culture that glorifies and perpetuates violence.

"All on the interstate, people are getting shot—women getting shot, kids getting shot. When you get gas, you have to have your gun in your hand."

No other information was immediately available.

Anyone with information about the killing may contact  NOPD Homicide Detective James Fyfe at (504) 658-5300 or call Crimestoppers of Greater New Orleans anonymously at ( 504) 822-1111.
