Antonio R. James, 21, was killed by gunfire on July 19, 2026, at a large gathering in Hattie Perry Park in Shreveport. The shooting occurred in the 4300 block of Ledbetter Street; James was taken by Shreveport Fire Department to a hospital but died of his wounds.

Officers who were already in the area for crowd and parking complaints heard the shots and began canvassing. They located a person hiding beneath a nearby residence and took that individual into custody without incident. A firearm recovered at the scene is believed to be linked to the shooting.

The person arrested was identified as 17-year-old Kenneth Harp and was booked on one count of second-degree murder. If anyone witnessed the shooting at Hattie Perry Park or has information about the events that evening, please come forward.
