Prentiss Tyre Britton was 21 when he was shot dead in Shreveport, Louisiana, on the evening of May 7, 2013. He was in the parking lot of Cooper Road Plaza Apartments, also known locally as the Peach Street Apartments, just before 10 p.m. when a gunman approached, stood over him and fired as many as a dozen shots. Britton was taken to LSU Medical Center but died about an hour after the attack.

Witnesses at the scene identified 19-year-old Andrew Smith as the shooter, and a warrant for second-degree murder was issued. Later that night Smith was bought a bus ticket to Memphis by his mother; he was located in Memphis, arrested and returned to Shreveport, and his mother was also arrested in connection with the case. At a June 2014 jury trial, Andrew Levell Smith was convicted of second-degree murder and received a sentence of life without parole. The victim’s family held a vigil after the conviction and said they were struggling with forgiveness.

If anyone knew Prentiss, was at Cooper Road Plaza that night, or has information about the events leading up to the shooting, please share what is known.
