A quiet sadness fell over a Shreveport community on June 18, 2026, when 18-year-old Breon Brown was killed in a shooting. The Shreveport Police Department opened an investigation and at first detained a person of interest; that individual was later released as detectives continued to develop the case.

Investigators later identified a new suspect, Carlos Heard, and arrested him. The Caddo Parish District Attorney’s Office has charged Heard with Brown’s murder. Authorities have not publicly released details about a motive or the circumstances that brought Brown and Heard together.

Anyone who knew Breon, witnessed the shooting, or has information about what happened on June 18 is asked to come forward.
