Derrick Wayne Coleman Jr., 32, of Houston, Texas, was shot in the parking lot of the Holiday Inn Express & Suites on Lake Street in Shreveport in the early hours of July 20, 2026. Shreveport Police were called at about 1:07 a.m.; Coleman was found with multiple gunshot wounds to his upper body, treated at the scene, and taken to Ochsner LSU Health Shreveport. He was pronounced dead at 7:19 a.m.

The Shreveport Police Department’s Violent Crimes Unit opened an investigation that included processing the scene, reviewing surveillance footage, and interviewing witnesses. Detectives say the shooting arose from what appeared to be an attempted armed robbery. With assistance from agencies in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas, investigators identified two people allegedly involved and obtained warrants charging 23-year-old JaQuarius Davis and 22-year-old Kamrin J. Brown of Ferriday, Louisiana, with second-degree murder and attempted armed robbery. Both men were arrested and booked in Concordia Parish on July 25, 2026. Authorities also stated they are seeking a third, unidentified suspect and the investigation remains active.

Does anyone have information about the incident, the suspects, or the unnamed third person who may have been involved?
