Shocking Turn of Events in Shreveport: Brother Arrested in Walgreens Homicide!
It’s been a tough week for the Shreveport community as they grapple with the violence that struck their city. On January 15, a tragic incident unfolded in a Walgreens parking lot that led to the death of 67-year-old Billy Jamison. Little did anyone know that this heartbreaking event would be linked to a family of brothers, setting off a chain reaction of arrests and concerns.
A Brother’s Arrest
First the facts: 38-year-old Kelvin Lewis has been taken into custody in Arlington, Texas. He is believed to be the triggerman responsible for Jamison’s untimely demise while Jamison was on a routine delivery for his pharmacy. It’s a surreal situation that has left many residents of Shreveport in disbelief.
Criminal Background
Kelvin isn’t new to the law; he has a checkered past, including a 2005 conviction for armed robbery that landed him a hefty 25-year sentence. In a turn of events that some might call a “rehabilitation story gone wrong,” he expressed ambitions to make amends back in 2015, stating he wanted to address the “wreckage of the past.” However, just days before the murder, Kelvin was involved in a different crime—a violent armed robbery at a payday loan business in Arlington. He and an accomplice were caught on CCTV tying up four employees, which might have been a mere precursor to what happened later.
Who is Still at Large?
While Kelvin is in custody, his brother, 44-year-old Larry Lewis, remains at large, raising more questions than answers. The role Larry played in the Walgreens crime is still shrouded in mystery. He also has a history with the law dating back to 1997, including charges for simple burglary, attempted armed robbery, and various drug offenses. Even more concerning is the fact that both brothers might be linked to a larger web of crime—including their accomplice, Kelvin Bivens—in the Shreveport and Dallas areas.
The Community Reacts
The news of the murder has sent shockwaves through Shreveport. Residents are visibly shaken, grappling with the reality that such a violent crime could happen so close to home. Billy Jamison wasn’t just delivering medicines; he was a member of the community, and his horrific death has left a palpable sense of loss and anger. Many believe that Jamison was a target due to the medical drugs in his vehicle, making this incident feel even more disconcerting.
Ongoing Investigation
The investigation is far from over. The Shreveport police are actively looking into whether the Lewises and Bivens are connected to other criminal activities plaguing the region. Residents are encouraged to step forward with any information regarding Larry Lewis’s whereabouts. In times like these, community cooperation can make all the difference in apprehending those involved in such heinous acts.
What’s Next for Shreveport?
As authorities continue their investigation, the focus remains on finding Larry Lewis and bringing him to justice. This incident underscores a larger issue of safety in the community and raises the question: How can we protect our neighborhoods from such violence? The outcome of this case is crucial for Shreveport, and the community hopes for a swift resolution.
In the coming days, we will undoubtedly learn more about the links between these brothers and their criminal activities. For now, as Shreveport pulls together, everyone is urged to stay vigilant. After all, it takes a community to foster a safe environment for everyone.
