The Shreveport Police Department is addressing misinformation circulating in various media markets regarding a recent assault case.
SPD officers and SFD medics responded to an assault and battery call at 400 Commerce Street on Jan. 26, at approximately 5:38am. Upon arrival, officers found an unconscious white male victim with severe facial and head injuries. Trevor Moses (DB: 04/07/1999) was arrested for second-degree battery in connection with this incident. Contrary to false reports, he has not been arrested for murder or manslaughter and is NOT currently in jail.
On Feb. 15, at approximately 12:15am, the victim succumbed to his injuries, and the case was elevated to a homicide investigation. Preliminary findings indicate that Moses and the other male had just left the Sand Bar on Spring Street when an altercation began. There were multiple physical altercations at different locations, with the final assault occurring on Commerce Street.
This case is complex, and the Shreveport Police Department is working closely with the Caddo Parish District Attorney’s Office to ensure a fair and impartial legal process. It’s important to clarify that the other individual involved in this incident was not arrested because he is deceased.
SPD urges the public to rely on verified information from credible sources rather than misleading reports that create unnecessary division.
SPD remains committed to transparency and justice as this case moves forward.
