Shreveport Police Arrest Two for Attempted Murder Following Shooting

Shreveport Police are investigating a shooting that left two individuals injured after gunfire was directed at a vehicle.

The two victims, along with two other women were traveling in a car when it was fired upon. Two women were shot during the incident. The driver was struck in the arm, while a second victim sustained non-life-threatening injuries. Both were taken to Ochsner LSU Health by Shreveport Fire Department for treatment.

Officers learned that the suspect, described as a Black male wearing a camouflage jacket and black pants, exited a white Kia after the shooting and ran behind nearby homes.

With the assistance of K-9 Karo, SPD Officers were able to locate and take Deavion Johnson into custody.

Witnesses say this incident stemmed from an argument involving multiple females. Authorities determined that Johnson discharged a firearm from a vehicle during the altercation.

A second suspect, Kabria White, has also been arrested in connection with this incident.

Both Johnson and White have been charged with five counts of Attempted Second Degree Murder.

This remains an active investigation, and additional charges may be forthcoming.
