In the fall of 2019, the life of 37-year-old Jarvis Jermaine Coleman was tragically cut short in Shreveport, Louisiana. On the evening of Saturday, October 26th, police were called to the 4500 block of Rightway Avenue in the western part of the city to investigate reports of a shooting. Upon arrival, they discovered Coleman suffering from at least one gunshot wound.
Emergency services transported him to Ochsner LSU Health hospital, but his injuries proved to be fatal.
He was pronounced dead shortly after arriving. The Caddo Parish Coroner's Office later officially identified Coleman and confirmed the cause of death as a homicide resulting from the shooting.
In the immediate aftermath of the incident, Shreveport Police detectives launched an investigation into the city's latest homicide. They began searching for a suspect, though a detailed description of the individual or individuals involved was not publicly released. The motive behind the shooting remained unclear as investigators worked to piece together the events leading to Coleman's death.
