Citizens in the 1800 block of Fulton Street contacted Shreveport Police investigators regarding individuals walking the streets with firearms and discharging them in public on July 14. Investigators quickly identified 1826 Fulton Street as a possible source of the activity and began research and surveillance on the location.

On Aug. 20, the suspect was observed running from the residence in broad daylight to the corner of Joplin and Midway, where he fired several rounds. Concerned citizens provided investigators with security
video, photographs, and detailed descriptions of both the suspect and the firearm. Investigators also
recovered shell casings from the scene, which were photographed and collected as evidence.

Citizens continued to update investigators about the suspect’s ongoing possession of the firearm. Based on this information, investigators obtained an arrest warrant for the suspect and a search warrant for the
residence on Aug. 25.

On Aug. 27 at approximately 7am, both warrants were executed. Seventeen-year-old Tevarus Holden was taken into custody without incident. The firearm described by citizens was located and seized.

Holden has been charged with Illegal Use of a Weapon and Illegal Possession of a Handgun by a Juvenile.

The Shreveport Police Department would like to thank the citizens who provided critical information and
evidence throughout this investigation. Their willingness to work alongside law enforcement played a key role in bringing this case to a safe resolution.
