A dispute over a phone charger in Shreveport turned deadly on December 18, 2020. Thirty-four-year-old Edward Lattin went next door from his DeSoto Street home to retrieve a charger and argued with his neighbor’s girlfriend. After returning and explaining the encounter, the argument restarted outside between Lattin and the woman. Her boyfriend, identified as Joshua Parks, then 26, emerged from the house and produced a .380 caliber handgun.

When Lattin began to run, he was shot and fell; Parks reportedly approached and shot him multiple additional times, including in the back of the head. Lattin was struck eight times and was taken to Ochsner LSU Health hospital, where he was pronounced dead that morning. Parks fled but later surrendered; forensic evidence including Lattin’s DNA on bloody shoes tied Parks to the scene and he was arrested and charged with second-degree murder.

Does anyone have information about the neighborhood or witnesses who might have seen the events on DeSoto Street that morning?
