On October 12th, 2023, around 2:204 p.m. Shreveport Police Patrol officers were notified of a 911 call coming from what was believed to be a moving vehicle. Dispatchers informed officers of an open line in which they could hear a man and woman yelling. The Dispatchers were able to note that the male was making threats to harm the women and was reportedly armed with a firearm.

With the assistance of Shreveport Police Dispatchers, officers located the vehicle in the 2600 block of Bert Kouns Industrial Loop. Upon initial investigation, officers found that the male suspect, Tariq Phillips (5-21-02), was attacking a female in the presence of two small children. Officers attempted to detain the Phillips and seized a handgun believed used in the assault.
