BATON ROUGE - A teenage girl was murdered in a targeted attack while she was driving down I-110 Saturday night. 

The Baton Rouge Police Department said 17-year-old Nykobia Keller was with a friend driving near the Hollywood Street exit when she was shot at 10:37 p.m.

"They were riding in their vehicle, and a second vehicle pulled alongside them, started shooting, struck the driver. She was able to pull over, they called for medical and police assistance and upon our arrival, she died at the scene," BRPD spokesperson Sgt. L'Jean McKneely said.

Police say the passenger was unharmed. 

"We do not believe this was a random shooting. We believe that a vehicle was indeed following them onto the interstate," McKneely said.

Officers did not elaborate when asked why they believe someone was trying to murder Keller. No arrests have been made and police say they do not have a suspect at this time. 

WBRZ reached out to Keller's family. Her aunt, Mary Cash Roberson, said Keller is leaving behind a four-month-old son.

"She was a loving and caring young woman and loved being a mom... I want justice for her cause they didn't have to do my baby like that," Roberson said.
