Shreveport, LA (2/6/2023) – On Friday, February 3, 2023, Detectives assigned to the Louisiana State Police Bureau of Investigations were requested by the Shreveport Police Department (SPD) to investigate an officer-involved shooting. The shooting incident involved an SPD officer and resulted in the death of 43-year-old Alonzo Bagley of Shreveport.
The preliminary investigation revealed that at approximately 10:51 pm on February 3, 2023, two SPD officers responded to the Villa Norte Apartment Complex, located in the 1600 block of Fullerton Street, about a domestic disturbance. As officers contacted the domestic disturbance complainant, Mr. Bagley exited the apartment from the balcony, jumped to the ground, and fled on foot. Following a short foot pursuit, SPD officer Alexander Tyler located Mr. Bagley as he rounded a building corner and fired one shot from his service weapon, which struck Mr. Bagley in the chest. Mr. Bagley was transported to Ochsner LSU Health in Shreveport for treatment but was later pronounced deceased.
Louisiana State Police is the lead investigating agency into this officer-involved shooting. Louisiana State Police Crime Lab Technicians processed the incident scene.
