SHREVEPORT – The peaceful morning hours took a grim turn on Tuesday, February 25, 2025, as a routine commute ended in tragedy. At approximately 5:40 a.m., local police received reports of a shooting in the 2600 block of Wren Court, a familiar neighborhood close to the intersection of Bert Kouns Industrial Loop and Mansfield Road.
The victim has been identified as Demetri Williams, a 30-year-old resident deeply connected to the area.
