On the evening of July 1, 2020, multiple calls reported a shooting at the Pelican Gardens apartment complex, 1820 East Texas Street in Bossier City, Louisiana. Officers arriving just before 8:00 p.m. found 19-year-old Z’Kryius Wilson unresponsive inside an apartment with several gunshot wounds. He was taken to Oschner LSU Health Shreveport and pronounced dead.

Investigators determined the shooting occurred in the complex’s parking lot, not inside the apartment where Wilson was found. Detectives identified 27-year-old Devarcus Deandre Harris of Shreveport as a suspect, obtained an arrest warrant, and took him into custody the Thursday after the shooting. He was charged with one count of second-degree murder and booked into the Bossier City jail with bond set at $350,000. The motive and circumstances leading to the shooting remain under investigation.

If anyone witnessed activity in the Pelican Gardens parking lot that night or has information about what led to the shooting, please share what is known.
