D’Angelo Lamar Pouncy Sr., 28, was a Black/African American man from Shreveport, Louisiana. On the evening of Monday, October 18, 2021, gunfire shattered the calm on Lillian Street. Police said the shooting happened around 7:15 p.m., and when officers arrived they found a man badly wounded. He was rushed to the hospital with life-threatening injuries, but he did not survive and was later pronounced dead.
In the early hours after the shooting, the details that emerged painted a stark, intimate scene: investigators said the victim had been standing on a porch when the suspect shot him. With little else publicly released at the time, the neighborhood itself became part of the story—an address, a porch, a single violent moment, and then a plea for anyone who knew anything to come forward.
His death was publicly memorialized in the days that followed through funeral-home and obituary notices, marking October 18, 2021 as the date he died and placing him firmly in the arms of a grieving family and community preparing to say goodbye.
As for accountability, publicly available reporting tied to the incident describes the shooting and the police appeal for information, but it does not name a suspect or document any arrest, charges, court proceedings, or conviction connected to his killing.
