The St. Tammany coroner is asking the public to report any information related to a mysterious death on the Slidell Twin Span early Tuesday morning.
Louisiana State Police responded to the crash around 2 a.m.
State police said Edashia Caraway, 26, of Appleton, Wisconsin, was walking on the eastbound lanes of Interstate 10 when a Mazda, also traveling eastbound, hit her.
According to police, preliminary findings suggest that another car may have hit Caraway before the Mazda.
Caraway was pronounced dead at the scene.
According to St. Tammany Coroner Christopher Tape, Caraway’s death is unusual.
Tape said in an issued press release that Caraway’s family paid for her to travel to New Orleans for a concert.
Tape said her hotel room was secured by state police, and he also requested a sexual assault nurse to collect evidence during the autopsy.
According to Tape, Caraway died from multiple blunt-force injuries from being hit by a car. Her cause of death has been ruled a homicide from a hit-and-run.
Troopers ask that anyone with information regarding this crash contact Louisiana State Police Troop L at 985-893-6250.
Tape is asking anyone with information on Caraway’s death to also contact him at 985-781-1150.
