Vandrick D. Williams, 41, was fatally shot in Shreveport, Louisiana, on Tuesday, September 1, 2020. Known to some as Van and remembered as a loving and outspoken truck driver, Williams was one of several victims in a late-summer surge of violent crime that affected the Caddo Heights neighborhood.

Authorities in Shreveport and Caddo Parish later announced arrests and indictments tied to that period’s wave of violence, including other homicides and armed robberies. Specific details about the inquiry into Williams’ own death, however, remain scarce; no suspects or arrests have been publicly identified in connection with his murder and the case is unsolved.

If anyone knew Vandrick Williams, his routines, or witnessed activity in Caddo Heights around September 1, 2020, please share information that might help bring answers to his family and friends.
