Colvin Germany, a 39-year-old Black man, was killed in Shreveport, Louisiana, after a late-night confrontation on Theo Street in the Mooretown/Hollywood Heights area. What began as a private argument with his fiancée, Samantha Phill, escalated after Phill accused Germany of taking about $3,400 in tax refund money and enlisted family members. Germany returned to collect belongings and loaded plastic totes into his red Chevy Cruze. As he backed up, Dana Jamariyaa Combs approached the driver’s door and fired multiple shots through the window; Germany was struck four times, including a fatal wound under his left ear.

Forensic findings were consistent with Germany’s hands being on the steering wheel when he was hit. No firearm was recovered from the Cruze, from the other vehicle, or from locations searched. Combs was identified, arrested, tried, and convicted of second degree murder; prosecutors also introduced evidence he pressured witnesses after his arrest. The conviction and life sentence were affirmed on appeal on April 9, 2025.

Does anyone have information about Germany’s last hours or witnessed the events on Theo Street that night?
