A dispute in Shreveport turned deadly in the summer of 2017 when 68-year-old Edward Lawrence was shot on the afternoon of June 19. Police found Lawrence in the 300 block of West 80th Street with at least one gunshot wound to his chest; he was taken to University Health Hospital and pronounced dead.

Investigators identified Travis L. Jackson as a suspect after a heated argument between the two allegedly escalated into the shooting. Jackson reportedly fled in a gold or tan Chevrolet Suburban and a warrant for second-degree murder was issued with bond set at $850,000. The next day officers located and arrested Jackson near Southern Avenue and 70th Street without incident.

A grand jury indicted Jackson on one count of second-degree murder in August 2017. What else is known about Edward Lawrence’s life or about events leading up to that afternoon?
