A family visit in Shreveport ended in homicide when 36-year-old Randall Jack was shot and killed during an argument at a home in the 8800 block of Yancey Street. The incident occurred during an early Mother’s Day gathering on Saturday, May 10, 2025, while people were watching a basketball game. A verbal dispute between Jack and his brother-in-law quickly escalated; the brother-in-law produced a firearm and shot Jack multiple times in the head, causing fatal injuries.

Police were called about 7:15 p.m. by a female caller who said her husband had been shot. Officers found the armed suspect outside the residence; according to law enforcement, he pointed his weapon at responding officers and multiple officers fired, striking him. The suspect was pronounced dead at the scene. Because the sole suspect died, no arrests were made in connection with Jack’s murder. The Shreveport Police Department is investigating Jack’s homicide, while the Louisiana State Police is handling the officer-involved shooting investigation.

If anyone at the gathering or nearby that evening has information about what led to the altercation or saw events on Yancey Street, please come forward.
