SPD investigating fatal shooting at Walgreens

Officers from the Shreveport Police Department Patrol Division responded to reports of a shooting incident on Jan. 22 at around 10:18am in the Walgreens parking lot at 3124 Line Ave. Upon arrival, officers located Billy Lee Jamison, a pharmaceuticals delivery driver, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. 

Shreveport Fire Department quickly responded and initiated life-saving measures before transporting Jamison to Ochsner Health Hospital. Tragically, Jamison succumbed to his injuries. 

SPD’s Violent Crimes Unit immediately responded to the scene and began their investigation. They were able to determine that the victim was delivering medicine when someone confronted him and an altercation ensued. The assailant robbed Jamison and shot him. The shooter then stole the Jamison’s van and drove away. The van was later found in Bossier City through the joint efforts of Bossier City Police, BPSO, and LSP. 

This incident represented the second time Jamison had been robbed while delivering medication, the first incident having occurred in Oct. 2024 at a pharmacy on Pierremont Rd. That case remains unsolved.
