Michael Hawkins, 38, was killed after a confrontation that began inside a residence and moved into the front yard on the 1200 block of Waller Street in Bossier City. Police found him at about 1:35 a.m. on October 3, 2023, with multiple gunshot wounds to the chest. He was taken to Ochsner LSU Health Hospital and pronounced dead on arrival.
