On July 20, 2016, a family dispute on Bond Drive in Shreveport, Louisiana, ended with two people shot dead. LaKendrick Brown, 25, was shot and pronounced dead at the scene; neighbor Michael Dillard was also shot and later died at a hospital. The shooter was identified as Brown’s 49-year-old stepfather, Jerry Jackson, who used a .22 caliber rifle during the confrontation and was taken into custody that day.

Jackson was charged with two counts of second-degree murder. An initial 2019 conviction was later overturned after a U.S. Supreme Court decision required unanimous jury verdicts in serious criminal cases. At retrial, a jury found Jackson guilty of second-degree murder for Dillard’s death and guilty of manslaughter for Brown’s death. Evidence introduced at trial included recovery of the rifle, which was forensically matched to shell casings at the scene, and eyewitness testimony from Jackson’s then-wife and a neighbor; the weapon had been given to a friend after the shooting and was recovered with that friend’s cooperation.

Did anyone in the Shreveport area know LaKendrick or have information about the events that led to that afternoon’s violence?
