[ORIGINAL STORY]  Police believe they know who fatally shot a man in the Cooper Road area last night. They have an arrest warrant for 19-year-old Andrew Smith.

He's accused of shooting 21-year-old Prentiss Britton at the Cooper Road Plaza Apartments in the 2900 block of Peach Street. Police were initially called to the complex to check into an argument, but found nothing. About 45 minutes later, they went back and found Britton, who reportedly had been shot about a dozen times. He was rushed to LSU Health Shreveport, where he later died.

The warrant against Smith charges him with one count of second-degree murder. Call detectives at 673-6955, or Crime Stoppers at 673-7373, if you know where he might be.
