NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - A 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, family members tell Fox 8.

“It’s concerning, [clearly]. It did rock our community as a whole,” says Mayor Latoya Cantrell.

Simmons’ 2-year-old boy 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.
