SHREVEPORT, LA-   Police make arrest in domestic double homicide

Investigators have jailed a man in connection with a north Shreveport shooting that left two women dead and a man critically injured, in what investigators are calling an act of domestic violence.

On January 14, 2024, just after 1:30 a.m., Shreveport Police patrol officers were dispatched to the 2700 block of Willis Street on reports of a shooting. Arriving officers located 70-year-old Joan Johnson, 29-year-old Jasmine Johnson, and a male victim inside of the residence. They were all shot multiple times. Joan Johnson was pronounced deceased on scene and Jasmine Johnson and the male were transported to a local hospital where Jasmine Johnson was pronounced deceased. The man suffered life-threatening injuries and remains hospitalized.

Investigators with the Violent Crimes and Crime Scene Units responded to the scene and launched their investigation. CSIU collected evidence and Violent Crimes Detectives interviewed witnesses. They were able to identify a man that Jasmine Johnson was romantically involved with Donald White, 6-11-1993, as the person they believed responsible for the murders. White was taken into custody at his home a short time later.

White was booked into the Shreveport City Jail following interviews with investigators. He was charged with 2 counts of Second-Degree Murder, one count of Attempted Second-Degree Murder, and outstanding warrants for Aggravated Domestic Abuse Battery, two counts of Domestic Abuse Aggravated Assault with Child Endangerment, Domestic Abuse Battery with a Dangerous Weapon, Domestic Abuse Battery upon a Pregnant Victim, and Aggravated Criminal Property Damage. The warrant stemmed from an August incident involving Jasmine Johnson and White.

Detectives with the Domestic Violence Unit and the Warrants Unit had been actively searching for White in relation to the warrants since the August incident.
