SPD patrol officers were dispatched to reports of a shooting on Friday, Dec. 27 at around 10:24 p,m. at Cross Lake Apartments, located at 5660 S. Lakeshore Drive.

Upon arrival, officers found a Black male victim suffering from a gunshot wound. The Shreveport Fire Department responded, providing life-saving measures before transporting the victim to Ochsner Health for further treatment. Unfortunately, the victim later succumbed to his injuries.

Shortly thereafter, officers were dispatched to the intersection of Carondelet Dr. and Curtis Ave. regarding a second gunshot victim. Upon arrival, officers discovered a Black female victim deceased in the back of a vehicle, having sustained multiple gunshot wounds.
