Has the New Orleans Interstate sniping been discussed?

Last summer, Bayou Justice identified 60 potentially related shootings on two New Orleans interstate highways.
Today, every news outlet in the state reports nightly on the attacks making the highways around Crescent City a shooting gallery. However, New Orleans officials remain tight-lipped, refusing to admit they may have a serial sniper in their city.
On Valentine’s Day, The New Orleans Police Department found a man shot multiple times in a vehicle on the Pontchartrain Expressway near the I-10 Slidell exit. Wednesday, Feb. 2, around 11 p.m., an unidentified sniper shot 24-year-old Christian Honore as he drove westbound on Interstate 10, causing him to crash his vehicle near Louisa Street.
WDSU, Channel 6 in New Orleans, said after the Valentine’s Day shooting, officers told a reporter they had responded to dozens of interstate shootings so far in 2022.
Shootings which Police Superintendent Shaun D. Ferguson initially called unrelated gang-on-gang and road-rage activity today count police officers, honeymoon couples and school children among the victims.
In 2020, New Orleans saw an average of two interstate shootings per month, and on January 12, a news release from the New Orleans Police Department detailed more than 30 interstate shootings in the Crescent City in 2021.
Six days later, they added four more victims to their list.
Just before 3 p.m. on Jan. 18, a Tuesday, a sniper killed 34-year-old Whitney Watts as she traveled eastbound on Interstate 10. Police realized something was amiss when the victim’s black car crashed into a guardrail at the Crowder Boulevard exit in New Orleans East. The coroner found Whitney’s assailant shot her multiple times.
Bullets busted the car’s back window, and police found one visible gunshot near the back-passenger window, just above the head of Whitney’s daughter.
According to Whitney’s sister-in-law, when the young girl phoned her dad from the car, Whitney’s husband asked if Whitney had a seizure. Their daughter replied, “No, Dad, she was shot.”
Earlier that morning, another I-10 gunshot hit a man on Michoud Boulevard, and the Saturday morning before that, Jan. 15, the interstate sniper killed a 52-year-old man and wounded a 45-year-old woman on I-10 at Esplanade Avenue.
It is time police admit that some if not all drivers and passengers found shot fell victim to the same shooter or shooters.
quote:
A representative of the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office agreed, saying the problem extends far outside the city limits of New Orleans and explained how someone shot two people on the North Causeway on-ramp onto I-10 East.
Only someone from New Orleans considers two exits "far outside the city limits"
quote:
The possibility that some, if not all these shootings were perpetrated by the same sniper or group, is not fiction. It has happened before and is likely happening again

It's open season on the high rise over the Industrial Canal.

Looks like people are an easy target going up the high rise without accelerating..

It's don't think it's a "sniper".
I thought it was well known that these are generally targeted hits where someone follows the mark onto the interstate, lights them up and then drives away.

It's the serial killer that apparently nobody gives a shite about catching. If they find out it's a white guy it will be national front page news.
Posted on 3/7/22 at 10:52 am to Dire Wolf
Is there a trend? Such as, type of ammo, type of weapon, time of day? It seems like the numbers are too high to be a coincidence.

Maybe some people like the DC snipers with a rig in the back of their vehicle. Or just some brothers firing right out of the window. It’s interesting to see there are specific hot areas which means these aren’t entirely random as in gangs seeing each other at any random spot. People are being targeted on the high rise.

I took the article here to be suggesting that may not be a completely correct narrative after all.

One of the dc snipers was a black dude from Baton Rouge.

I’m driving from Baton Rouge to NOLA on Saturday. Should I board up my car windows?
Posted on 3/7/22 at 10:56 am to Dire Wolf
Hope Russia targets NOLA first if we go to nuclear war

Just keep them rolled down so they don’t get damaged from the incoming rounds

Gotta be gang initiation shite. Pull up on the first car you see and open up.
We basically need to send in military contractors to NOLA at this point and kill 80% of the people that live there.

Since there has been zero descriptions given by the survivors I think it is safe to say this is an ongoing back and forth between 2 or more groups.
Kind of rules out random.

I'm hearing most of the shootings were from a 22 magnum.
Posted on 3/7/22 at 11:08 am to Dire Wolf
What is the caliber being used?
Big difference from a 9mm and a .308 if you are a so called sniper laying out a plan of attack

There have multiple instances of tourists being shot and killed by the sniper so it’s not a targeted hit despite what the city wants people to believe. It’s also why the city is refusing to release any info to the public on these shootings.

Have there?
I don't think anyone has been killed by a sniper. All have been ambush.
