Sheddrick Jackson, 42, was driving eastbound on Jackson Street in Shreveport, Louisiana, when he was struck by gunfire on the afternoon of July 29, 2018. Police were called shortly after 4:30 p.m. after multiple shots were reported near the intersection of Jewella Avenue and Jackson Street. An adult and a juvenile were hit; both were rushed to University Health, and Jackson died of his wounds.

Investigators say the shooting unfolded in seconds. Detectives concluded Jackson was not the intended target but an unsuspecting passerby who drove into the line of fire while a teenager and another person walking on Jewella were also shot. Crime scene and violent crimes units secured the scene, collected evidence, and interviewed witnesses to establish who fired and where the shots came from.

The investigation later focused on 17-year-old Kadarius Jenkins of Shreveport, identified through evidence and witness statements as the alleged shooter. Warrants obtained September 5, 2018, charged Jenkins with attempted second-degree murder; authorities later upgraded the charge to second-degree murder in connection with Jackson’s death. If anyone saw the shooting or has information about what happened that afternoon, please share it with investigators.
