The Shreveport Police Department arrested 18-year-old Cedrick Edwards in connection with a shooting incident that took place on April 26 in the 3500 block of Wint 70th Street.

On April 26, at approximately 6:20 p.m., officers responded to a report of shots fired in the area. Upon arrival, it was determined that Cedrick Edwards was the suspect involved in the incident. Patrol officers swiftly took Edwards into custody.

Cedrick Edwards has been charged with one count of illegal use of a weapon. Thanks to the legislation passed in February 2024, re-establishing the illegal use of a weapon as a violent offense under Louisiana Revised Statute 14:2, law enforcement authorities are now able to release the booking photograph of these suspects.

We are required to remind that all suspects are innocent until found guilty.
