Shreveport, La. (8/31/2022) – Four juveniles who were arrested following a shootout on Tuesday morning have been charged for their muti-day crime spree, said Sheriff Steve Prator.
During the investigation, Caddo Parish Sheriff’s Detectives learned the juveniles, ages 16 and 17, started their crime spree in Shreveport’s Southern Hills Neighborhood where they stole a car just after 2 a.m. on Monday. On Tuesday, they stole a pickup truck in Blanchard. The two stolen vehicles were later used to facilitate the burglaries of vehicles in the Blanchard area and North Forty Loop where the shootout happened.
A resident of the Grand Oaks Apartments told detectives, he was walking to his vehicle that Tuesday morning when one of the juveniles pretended to ask for help. That teen later pointed a gun at him prompting the exchange of gunfire. Patrol deputies responded to the apartment complex and all suspects were eventually arrested.
