A Fourth of July dispute over late-night fireworks in 2016 ended in deadly gunfire in Shreveport. Antonio Collins, 33, was shot in the chest and died after a confrontation just after 10:00 p.m. in the 2400 block of Coral Avenue. The argument had started over youths setting off fireworks; both Collins and 32-year-old Exzavious Thomas produced handguns during the altercation.

Police reports at the time allege Collins fired first, wounding Thomas, who then returned fire. Both men were taken to University Health; Collins did not survive and Thomas was treated and charged with being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm.

Did anyone in the neighborhood witness how the exchange of shots began or know more about what happened that night?
