On the night of September 28, 2020, at just before 10:00 p.m., police in Shreveport responded to a shooting in the 7100 block of Wallace Avenue. Two brothers, 25-year-old Ladarrien LaRay Taylor and his 23-year-old brother Denzel Jamar Taylor, suffered gunshot wounds to their upper bodies and were taken to Ochsner LSU Health Hospital with life-threatening injuries. Both men later died of their wounds.

Investigators focused on 33-year-old Stanley Goldsby, who detectives say went to the Wallace Avenue residence, argued with one of the Taylor brothers, produced a firearm and shot both men before fleeing in a vehicle. A warrant was issued charging Goldsby initially with one count of second-degree murder and one count of attempted second-degree murder; prosecutors expected charges to be upgraded after Ladarrien Taylor’s death. Goldsby was located in Cass County, Missouri, extradited to Shreveport and held at Caddo Correctional Center on a $350,000 bond.

Reports later indicate Goldsby was arrested in February 2024 on an unrelated homicide in Alexandria and was no longer in custody for the Shreveport double homicide; details of his release from Caddo Parish Jail are undisclosed. If anyone knew Ladarrien Taylor or has information about the shooting, please come forward.
