A dispute over a pair of headphones at a community event in Shreveport, Louisiana, ended with the shooting death of 14-year-old Deidrick D. James on Saturday, July 6, 2024. The confrontation took place at Bilberry Park in the Queensborough neighborhood and reportedly began as an argument over ownership of the headphones. During the exchange, James allegedly pushed the other male, who then produced a firearm and shot James in the chest.

Emergency services took the teenager to Ochsner LSU Health hospital, where he was pronounced dead shortly after arrival.

If anyone was at Bilberry Park that day or has information about the dispute over the headphones or the person detained, please come forward.
