A family argument in Shreveport turned deadly on the night of August 1, 2026. Police say 23-year-old Byron Starks was shot in the abdomen at a home in the 6200 block of North Windermere Drive; officers found him on the front lawn around 11:15 p.m. and he was pronounced dead at Ochsner LSU Health Hospital at 11:52 p.m.

Detectives identified Byron’s 19-year-old brother, Kobe Starks, as the suspect after witness statements described a verbal dispute inside the house that allegedly escalated and ended with Kobe arming himself and shooting Byron. An arrest warrant was issued, and Kobe Starks was located and booked into the Shreveport City Jail on one count of second-degree murder.

Neighbors told reporters they had not noticed any ongoing conflict between the brothers before the shooting. Does anyone with knowledge of the family or the neighborhood have information that could shed light on what led to this confrontation?
