A verbal dispute in Shreveport’s Queensborough neighborhood on November 8, 2016, ended with 16-year-old Tremon Jackson shot as he walked away from a residence. The African American teenager was struck by multiple rounds, ran a short distance, then collapsed. Family members found him and took him to University Health, where he was pronounced dead.

Investigators identified 18-year-old Sirdetrick Samuels as the person responsible after witnesses said shots were fired shortly after the exchange between Samuels and Jackson. Authorities obtained a second-degree murder arrest warrant; Samuels surrendered on November 12, 2016, and bond was set at $500,000. The case later moved through the courts and resulted in a conviction on a lesser manslaughter charge and a 50-year sentence on March 27, 2018.

Did anyone in Queensborough at the time see the argument or the shooter’s movements after the shots were fired?
