On December 27, 2024, 21-year-old Jakeva Datcher was fatally shot in Shreveport, Louisiana. The shooting began in the parking lot of an apartment complex in the 5600 block of South Lakeshore Drive when she and her cousin, 21-year-old Tristavian Datcher, were exiting their vehicle and were struck by gunfire. Jakeva suffered multiple gunshot wounds and was later found deceased in the back seat of an SUV in the 3000 block of Curtis Lane; she was pronounced dead at 10:36 PM. Tristavian was found gravely wounded at the initial scene, transported to Ochsner LSU Health, and died at 11:00 PM.

Authorities say the shooting was tied to a narcotics transaction that went fatally wrong. The next morning a special response team executed a search warrant at a West College Street residence and arrested three people identified as 19-year-old Alissa Loreaunna Rogers, 21-year-old Deaiviantan Deshun Davis, and 21-year-old Rufus Odell Anderson. A Caddo Parish Grand Jury later returned true bills charging each with two counts of second-degree murder; all three were incarcerated at the Caddo Correctional Center on one-million-dollar bonds per charge as they await trial.

Does anyone have information about the cousins’ activities in the days before December 27 or about the West College Street residence?
