An evening card game at a Shreveport tire shop ended in a deadly ambush on May 5, 2016. Three or four masked men armed with what witnesses described as semi-automatic rifles burst into the shop and opened fire on the people inside. The attack killed 37-year-old Leatrick Benjamin and 37-year-old Elton Wayne Madison; several others were wounded. Two people suffered serious injuries, and four others were treated and released from the hospital.

Police responded after the shooters fled and reported no immediate leads, no established motive, and no identification of the assailants. If anyone attended that card game or has information about who entered the shop that night, share what is known with investigators.
