Officers with the Shreveport Police Department were dispatched to the 1500 block of Line Avenue in response to a burglary and vehicle theft on July 28 just after midnight.
The victim, a disabled veteran, reported that while he was asleep around 12:40am, two unknown
individuals—a Black male and a White female—entered his residence without consent. The suspects
proceeded to steal various items, including clothing, jewelry, and the keys to the victim’s vehicle, a white 2019 Mercedes-Benz.
After collecting the stolen property, the suspects fled the scene in the victim’s vehicle. Shortly afterward, the victim’s debit card was unlawfully used at a local Circle K convenience store.
SPD detectives have since obtained video surveillance footage related to the incident and are actively
working to identify the individuals responsible. This crime is especially troubling given the victim’s status as a military veteran—someone who has already given much in service to the country.
Theft is cowardly on its own, But to steal from a sleeping veteran? That deserves no sympathy and no
quarter. We will find these individuals—and we will bring them to justice.”
