On the evening of October 11, 2022, Jaylin Edwards, a 21-year-old Black man, was fatally shot on Madeline Street in the Mooretown neighborhood of Shreveport. The shooting occurred just before 8:30 p.m.; Edwards sustained multiple gunshot wounds, was taken to a nearby hospital, and later died, with the Caddo Parish Coroner’s Office confirming his identity.

His death was one of four separate fatal shootings within about an hour that night, incidents described as unrelated but that together shocked the city. Since the initial news coverage there have been no public announcements from the Shreveport Police Department about arrests or identified suspects in Edwards’ killing, and details about the investigation remain limited.

If anyone who knew Jaylin or who was in the Mooretown area that night has information that could help, please come forward to the Shreveport Police Department.
