Caddo Correctional Center Booking Photos February 22nd-28th

This week, 73 people were booked and kept at Caddo Correctional Center for various crimes.

One of those behind bars was found guilty of molestation of 2 juveniles.

A Keithville man was convicted on 2 counts of Molestation of a Juvenile under 13.

Six witnesses took the stand to speak against 64 year-old David Wilson Waters. The witnesses were able to convince the jury that Waters was guilty of molesting 2 girls who were 7 and 8 years-old in 2016 and 2017. The girls were related to a woman who Waters knew. One of the victims told a close family member who did not report the crime to Police. Since the crime was not reported, the child thought nothing would ever come of this incident. This victim also thought that the following interview at Gingerbread House would not bring Waters to justice.

Another victim told a counselor in 2018 about the abuse that took place with Waters. The counselor took the stand to testify at the trial, and the case was based almost exclusively on testimony.

When Waters took the stand, he claimed that he was never alone with the children despite living with them for an extended time. A woman also took the stand and claimed that the children were lying for financial reasons, but neither could prove the inconsistencies under cross-examination.

It took the jury under an hour to come back with the guilty conviction.

Waters is facing 25 to 99 years in prison in his upcoming sentencing trial in Caddo District Court.

Another was arrested after firing a gun at someone at a Shreveport trailer park.

A STRANGE shooting case for Shreveport Police on Monday (2/24/25).

After 10:20 PM SPD showed up to the scene of a shots-fired call on Lynwood Avenue. Officers said when they pulled up they could see a man running in to some woods behind a trailer park. When Police caught up to the guy, he said he was hiding because someone was shooting at him.

The man told SPD he just got off work and was meeting someone at the trailer park, when a guy in a black mask approached him. The masked man was screaming at the victim, then pulled a gun and started shooting. The victim avoided being shot by running and ducking behind cars and trailers.

SPD started investigating and interviewing witnesses, and were able to figure out Kyle Ardoin was the one responsible.

Police searched the trailer park and were able to find Ardoin inside of a trailer.

From SPD:

"Ardoin has been charged with one count of illegal use of a weapon and one count of aggravated assault with a firearm.

The Shreveport Police Department remains committed to ensuring the safety of our community and holding individuals accountable for acts of violence."
