In a city ravaged by murder, the Lundi Gras shooting of a 21-year-old New Orleans man and his Uber driver stands out as especially vicious.

Not only was the intended target, Johnell Hampton, gunned down in a moving car, 35-year-old Uber driver and social worker Andrew Stiller was also shot multiple times. And as Stiller’s car crashed onto Interstate-10, bullets continued to fly, leaving a woman in grave condition with a gunshot wound to the head and two others badly hurt in the wreck.

“It’s senseless. Barbaric. I’ve never seen anything like that in my twenty plus years on the job,” NOPD Homicide Commander Capt. Kevin Burns said.
