The life of 19-year-old Trinity T. Myles came to a tragic end in the early morning hours of Saturday, December 13, 2025, in the Cedar Grove neighborhood of Shreveport, Louisiana. Residents in the 200 block of West 69th Street were disturbed by a domestic situation that escalated inside a private residence, prompting family members to contact emergency services just after midnight.
When officers from the Shreveport Police Department arrived at the scene, they discovered Myles unresponsive inside the home. Despite immediate life-saving efforts by first responders and subsequent transport to Ochsner LSU Health hospital, she was unable to be revived and was pronounced dead at 12:32 a.m.
Investigators quickly determined that the incident was the result of a domestic dispute that had turned violent. Initial reports and evidence gathered at the scene pointed to strangulation as the cause of death, leading authorities to treat the case as a homicide. The investigation revealed that an argument had taken place between Myles and her boyfriend, who was identified as the primary suspect. By the time law enforcement arrived, the suspect had fled the location, launching a search by local police who issued alerts for his whereabouts.
The suspect, identified as Evantavius Dion Williams, was the victim's boyfriend and the father of her two children. Police were able to locate Williams shortly after the incident, and he was taken into custody without further violence. Following his arrest, Williams was booked into the Caddo Correctional Center and charged with manslaughter in connection with Myles' death. The charge was filed as detectives continued to process evidence and await the final results of an autopsy to confirm the precise manner of death.
Myles was remembered as a dedicated mother to two daughters and an aspiring hairdresser who was working to build her clientele and future. Her death marked the 38th homicide in Shreveport for the year 2025, sparking renewed conversations in the community about the prevalence of domestic violence. As the legal process against Williams began, the case stood as a somber reminder of the rapid and often silent escalation of partner violence, leaving a grieving family and two young children to navigate the aftermath of the loss.
