Antonio Deshon Demetrius William, 52, was fatally shot while delivering mail on Dudley Drive in Shreveport, Louisiana, on the morning of Saturday, June 22, 2019. A longtime U.S. Postal Service employee of 17 years and a grandfather to thirteen, he was taken to Ochsner LSU Health Hospital but died of his wounds after being shot in the upper body as he approached a residence.

Within hours police obtained an arrest warrant for 32-year-old Michael Gentry, whom investigators believe shot William while he was performing his duties. Police said there was no apparent dispute or prior altercation between the two men, and the motive remained unclear. Gentry was charged with second-degree murder; authorities later noted he was a convicted felon and therefore prohibited from possessing a firearm.

The case involved the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, ATF, and FBI. If anyone who knew William or saw activity on Dudley Drive that morning has information, please share it with investigators.
