Victor Samuels, 17, was shot and killed in the late evening of September 23, 2025. He was found with gunshot wounds in the 8300 block of Harding Avenue in Shreveport at about 9:40 p.m. and was taken to Ochsner LSU Health, where he was pronounced dead shortly after 11 p.m. Victor was a basketball player at Woodlawn High School; teammates and the local basketball community mourned his death.

Investigators believe the shooting involved an exchange of gunfire. The Shreveport Police Department’s Violent Crimes Unit identified a person of interest and worked the scene and leads. Within days, authorities arrested 17-year-old Kamarion Young in connection with Victor’s death; Young was booked into the Shreveport City Jail and charged with second-degree murder as the investigation continued.

Was anyone in the Woodlawn community or the Harding Avenue area aware of arguments or conflicts involving Victor in the days before September 23?
