A Shreveport man died after a confrontation over a stolen truck on October 3, 2017. Bennie Livingston, 65, reported seeing what he believed was his stolen white Ford F-250 that morning and called 911 while following the vehicle. The dispatcher’s call was dropped, and shortly afterward a white truck was reported to have crashed into a fence at Myrtle Street and Pierre Avenue.

Officers found Livingston in the wrecked vehicle with a gunshot wound to the head. He was taken to University Health in critical condition and later died. Investigators say preliminary findings indicate the person driving the stolen truck shot Livingston during the pursuit. The stolen truck was found abandoned about ten hours later in the 1600 block of Ashton Street and was impounded.

No suspects had been publicly identified and no arrests were announced at the time of the investigation; a reward was offered for information leading to an arrest. If anyone saw the truck, the crash, or the pursuit on October 3, 2017, please share what was witnessed.
