In the early morning hours of October 18, 2020, 36-year-old Michael DeAngelo Wilson was fatally shot in the Cedar Grove neighborhood of Shreveport, Louisiana. Gunfire erupted just after 4 a.m. in the 400 block of West 74th Street. Wilson was taken to Ochsner LSU Health Hospital, where he died of his injuries; the Caddo Parish Coroner’s Office later confirmed his identity by fingerprint comparison and authorized an autopsy.

The same shooting wounded a young girl who was asleep in her home; she suffered a gunshot wound to the leg and was expected to recover. The Shreveport Police Department’s Homicide and Crime Scene Investigations Unit canvassed the area and appealed for witnesses, but no arrests have been announced and the investigation remains ongoing.

If anyone in Cedar Grove that morning saw or heard anything, or has information that could help investigators, please contact CrimeStoppers or the Shreveport Police Department.
