A Shreveport man was found guilty of second-degree murder on April 30, 2026, in Caddo District Court in connection with the 2023 shooting death of Bre’Anna Hall.

A jury deliberated for less than 50 minutes before convicting Steven Darnell Davis, 49, in the August 4, 2023 incident. He was also found guilty of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

According to case details, Davis had reported his vehicle and a minibike stolen earlier that day and made statements indicating he intended to harm the person responsible. Later that evening, Davis encountered 15-year-old Jeremy Mayo, who was riding the minibike, and confronted him at an intersection.

Authorities said Mayo surrendered the minibike and fled when Davis began firing a handgun. Hall, who had been following her brother in a separate vehicle, exited in an apparent attempt to intervene when Davis opened fire, striking her multiple times. She later died from her injuries.

Investigators identified Davis as a suspect, and witnesses at the scene confirmed his involvement. Testimony during the trial included accounts from individuals present that night, as well as recorded calls presented as evidence.

Davis is scheduled to return to court on May 21, 2026, where he faces a mandatory life sentence for the murder conviction. He also faces additional penalties related to the firearm charge.

The case was prosecuted by Assistant District Attorneys Treneisha Hill and Ross Owen, with Davis represented by the Caddo Parish Public Defender’s Office.
