        Ralph Bias died from several  gunshot wounds, said John Gagliano, the Orleans Parish coroner's office chief investigator. 
        Bullets exploded amid steady traffic about 12:30 p.m. Wednesday near the South Broad Street overpass.

        Several bullets entered a black sports car, hitting the driver and a passenger, according to police. The car came to a halt in the breakdown lane.

        The driver, 20, died inside the car, according to New Orleans Police Department Deputy Chief Marlon Defillo. Paramedics rushed a second victim, a 19-year-old man, to the LSU Trauma Center in critical condition, said Jeb Tate, a New Orleans EMS spokesman.

        Police did not have details on a possible motive or suspect as of mid-afternoon. However, "someone in that vehicle was the intended target," said NOPD Assistant Superintendent Marlon Defillo.
