On the night of July 30, 2011, 25-year-old Roshenna Bantina Crowder was shot and killed during a violent home invasion at her residence in the 6100 block of Fairfield Avenue in Shreveport, Louisiana. At least three armed men forced their way into the home where Roshenna lived with her boyfriend, Donald Brown, and her two young children, ages 4 and 8. Roshenna hid in a bedroom closet and was shot there; Brown was shot multiple times and survived. The children ran to their grandmother’s house and told police several men had knocked and then forced entry with a gun.

Initial arrests targeted Barnell Johnson and Shawnee Bernard after jailhouse informants and an initial identification by the hospitalized Brown, but Brown later recanted and the lead detective questioned the suspects’ knowledge of the crime. Later in 2011 witnesses and cooperating participants identified Demario Little as the shooter; Kenneth and Tracy Moore admitted participating in the robbery and named Little. Charges against Johnson and Bernard were dropped, an arrest warrant was issued for Little in December 2011, and a grand jury indicted him on January 19, 2012. Little was convicted on April 25, 2014, of second-degree murder and received a life sentence.

Did anyone in Shreveport know Roshenna or remember seeing suspicious activity around Fairfield Avenue the night of July 30, 2011?
