Three Arrested as Suspects in Shreveport Double Homicide

On the evening of December 27, 2024, at approximately 10:24 PM, Shreveport Police Department (SPD) patrol officers were dispatched to reports of a shooting at Cross Lake Apartments, located at 5660 S. Lakeshore Drive.

Upon arrival, officers found a Black male victim suffering from a gunshot wound. The Shreveport Fire Department responded, providing life-saving measures before transporting the victim to Ochsner Health for further treatment. Unfortunately, the victim later succumbed to his injuries.

Shortly thereafter, officers were dispatched to the intersection of Carondelet Drive and Curtis Avenue regarding a second gunshot victim. Upon arrival, officers discovered a Black female victim deceased in the back seat of a vehicle, having sustained multiple gunshot wounds.

Homicide detectives were immediately contacted and launched an investigation. Through their work, detectives determined that the victims had reportedly been engaged in a narcotics transaction at the Cross Lake Apartments when gunfire erupted, resulting in their injuries.

Using investigatory techniques, detectives tracked the suspects to a residence at 2231 W. College Street. A search warrant was secured and executed by the Shreveport Special Response Team (SRT), utilizing the department’s newly delivered armored vehicle.

During interviews and a search of the residence, detectives gathered sufficient evidence to arrest three suspects:

· Alissa Rodgers (B/F, 02/07/2006)

· Rufus Anderson (B/M, 02/03/2004)

· Deaiviantae Davis (B/M, 11/16/2003)

Each suspect was charged with two counts of second-degree homicide and booked into the Shreveport City Jail.
