Boyd said authorities received a report around 1 a.m. on Saturday about a car that had been shot multiple times just off a highway in Avondale, southwest of New Orleans. Bullet casings were scattered across the road and there were several bullet holes on the exterior of the car.

No suspects have been identified, Boyd added. The victims' identities were being withheld pending notification of family members.
