Javoris Debouse, a 23-year-old Black man, was fatally shot the afternoon of August 12, 2021, in the Cedar Grove neighborhood of Shreveport, in the 600 block of West 64th Street. The shooting just before 2:30 p.m. also wounded two other people; all were taken to Ochsner LSU Health Hospital, where Debouse died from his injuries.

Police investigators focused on several Black males in a white Nissan truck. Officers located that vehicle on August 14; a short pursuit ended when four males abandoned the truck and ran. Three—Jaylen Burns, Libert Burns, and Tarus Walton—were caught and initially booked on unrelated charges. Detectives later identified a fourth man, Tre Veon Jackson (Tre'veon Jackson in some reports), as the person believed to have fired the shots. Warrants charging second-degree murder and two counts of attempted second-degree murder were issued, and forensic work on August 19 linked the three originally detained men to the homicide. Jackson was taken into custody on September 8. In November 2021 a Caddo Parish grand jury returned true bills against Jaylen Burns, Libert Burns, Tre Veon Jackson, and Tarus Walton for Debouse’s murder and the attempted murders of the other two victims; all four were held at the Caddo Correctional Center.

Did anyone in Cedar Grove that day see the white Nissan or the men who ran from it?
