Late on a Monday night in Bossier City’s Pepper Point Mobile Home Park, officers responding to reports of a shooting in the 6000 block of East Texas Street found 37-year-old Danny Earl Litton Jr. of Shreveport lying in the street in front of a trailer with a gunshot wound to his upper body. He was taken to University Health in Shreveport and pronounced dead.

Detectives processed the scene and interviewed witnesses as they opened an investigation. Just over an hour after the shooting, 27-year-old Christopher Brandon Phillips of Bossier City surrendered at Bossier City Police Department headquarters and was booked into the Bossier City Jail. He was charged with one count of second-degree murder in connection with Litton’s death. The motive and circumstances that led to the shooting remain under examination.

If anyone witnessed the shooting or has information about what happened that night, please share what is known with investigators.
