Savarea Stickman, 24, was killed in a drug-related shooting in Shreveport’s Cedar Grove neighborhood just before 1 a.m. on June 2, 2018. The shooting occurred in the 7200 block of Bernstein Avenue after a planned marijuana sale went bad; Stickman was found with at least two gunshot wounds to his upper body and was taken to University Health hospital, where he was pronounced dead just after 6 a.m.

Jamarcus Plater, 23, who had arranged the purchase, was seated in Robinson’s vehicle. Stickman allegedly began firing at Robinson and the teenager; Robinson returned fire, striking Stickman and wounding the 17-year-old in the arm. Investigators recovered a firearm, narcotics, and shell casings from at least two different caliber weapons at the scene. Plater reportedly removed the marijuana from Robinson’s car, hid it in his own vehicle, and fled on foot; he surrendered to police on June 12 and was charged with armed robbery. Robinson was charged with conspiracy to distribute marijuana. A warrant for Stickman’s arrest for alleged threats had been issued on June 1, but investigators did not consider it connected to the shooting.

Did anyone in the Cedar Grove area witness the exchange that turned deadly or have information about the movements of the vehicles and people that night?
