On the late afternoon of August 12, 2023, a robbery at a shop in Shreveport’s Highland neighborhood ended in a deadly shootout. Three males entered a business on the 1900 block of Centenary Boulevard and demanded items; two reportedly jumped the counter and took personal belongings from the clerk, including a handgun. Two customers inside escaped to a blue Chevrolet 1500 extended cab pickup, armed themselves, and confronted the suspects as they left.

An exchange of gunfire followed. Nineteen-year-old Anthony M. Lee and 18-year-old Martavious D. Henderson were struck and died at the scene — one inside the store and one outside. A third suspect, described as a Black male about 5 feet 6 inches to 5 feet 8 inches, slender and wearing gray shorts and a black hoodie, fled on foot and remains unidentified. Detectives are reviewing surveillance footage and have released images of the fleeing suspect and the two patrons, seeking public assistance.

If anyone has information about the robbery, the fleeing suspect, or the two patrons who fired, contact the Shreveport Police Department or Caddo Shreveport Crime Stoppers.
