In the spring of 2021, a burst of gunfire shattered the night in Shreveport, Louisiana, ending the life of 45-year-old Tammy Sheree Williams Harris. On the evening of May 4th, Harris was with a man named Fate Vincent Winslow on Linwood Avenue when the shooting occurred. Winslow was pronounced dead at the scene, while Harris was rushed to a nearby hospital, where she succumbed to her injuries.
The initial investigation by the Shreveport Police Department treated the case as a double
homicide. In the immediate aftermath, authorities processed the scene and began the arduous task of piecing together the events that led to the fatal encounter. However, despite their efforts, information regarding a motive or potential suspects was not publicly released. The case, like many others across the nation, presented significant challenges to law enforcement.
As weeks turned into months, and then years, the investigation into the deaths of Tammy Sheree Williams Harris and Fate Vincent Winslow grew cold. There have been no subsequent announcements from the Shreveport Police Department regarding any arrests made or suspects identified in connection with the double homicide. The case is now considered one of Shreveport's unsolved murders, leaving a family without answers and a community with the lingering pain of a violent and unresolved crime.
