A downtown Shreveport night out turned deadly in the early morning hours of March 15, 2025, when gunfire near the Haze nightclub on Texas Street killed 24-year-old Noah Letrell Penn, a Black male, and 28-year-old JaCorey Fuller. The shooting also wounded two other people who were taken to Ochsner Health Hospital and were expected to recover. Officers arrived about 2:35 AM to a chaotic scene with multiple victims; witnesses reported hearing gunshots but none identified a shooter.

The Shreveport Police Violent Crimes unit opened an investigation. Police later arrested Contavius Taylor and charged him with second-degree murder in connection with the incident. The owner of Club Haze told the Shreveport Public Safety Committee the club had been trying to manage a crowd outside and had called 911 about a fight before the shooting. Any readers who knew Noah Penn or have information about that night are asked to come forward.
