Shreveport Police Arrest Three for Second Degree Robbery

Yesterday, Shreveport Police were called to Dick's Sporting Goods of Youree Drive to reports of a theft.

When SPD got to the store, the three suspects had already fled the scene. The suspects identified as Demia Brown, Zion Green, and Cedric Edwards were caught a short time later.

Initial reports from employees pointed to a theft. But, during the investigation SPD found out that when the staff tried to intervene in the theft, the suspects threatened to shoot them. The threats made the employees fear for their lives, making the charges upgrade to Second Degree Robbery.

From SPD:
