On a January morning in Shreveport, Louisiana, the life of 36-year-old Jimmy Ray Grant Jr., a male, came to a violent end. It was just before noon on January 5, 2019, when police were called to a home in the 3200 block of Lakeshore Drive. Inside, they found Grant suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. He was rushed to Ochsner LSU Health Hospital, but his injuries proved to be fatal, and he died later that day.
The investigation into the city's first homicide of the year quickly focused
on a member of Grant's own family. Within a day, detectives had honed in on a suspect: Jeremy Grant, the victim's 39-year-old brother. After being interviewed by detectives at the Shreveport Police Headquarters, Jeremy Grant was taken into custody.
Following his arrest, Jeremy Grant was booked into the Shreveport City Jail and charged with one count of second-degree murder in connection with his brother's death. While authorities announced the arrest and the charge, the specific details of what led to the fatal shooting have not been made publicly available. Information regarding the progression of the case through the court system, including any trial or conviction, is not available in online sources.
