The Shreveport Police Department has arrested Semaj Mitchell, the final suspect wanted in connection with the fatal shooting of Labriesha Patterson on Aug. 18 in the 1600 block of Martin Luther King Drive.

Mitchell has been charged with one count of Second-Degree Murder for his role in Patterson’s death.

Mitchell’s booking photograph reveals visible injuries to the suspect. Investigators advise that these are
reportedly the result of the events surrounding the shooting. Mitchell is believed to have been hanging from the window of a moving automobile while firing at Patterson’s vehicle. When the vehicle later crashed, he reportedly fell and sustained injuries.

With Mitchell’s arrest, all four suspects in this case are now in custody:

• Deceldrion Gay (DOB: 04/04/2006)
• Tywann Gipson (DOB: 04/03/2008)
• Rodney Thomas Jr. (DOB: 09/12/2005)
• Semaj Mitchell 

“This case is an example of the relentless work of our detectives and specialized units,” said Chief Smith.
“Through persistence and teamwork, every suspect involved in this senseless act of violence has been
identified and taken into custody.”
