Xamien Davis was a 39-year-old Black man and father from Shreveport, Louisiana, remembered by family as a devoted parent. On the evening of August 4, 2023, Shreveport police responded to a domestic disturbance at the Residences at SpringRidge on West Bert Kouns Industrial Loop. Officers found Davis with a single gunshot wound to the head; he was taken to Ochsner LSU Health Shreveport and died the next afternoon, August 5, 2023. His death was recorded as the city’s 50th homicide that year.

Investigators focused on Davis’s on-and-off dating partner, Carlisia Manshan Clark. Authorities say the shooting occurred during an argument when Clark retrieved a 9mm handgun from a bedroom closet and shot Davis as he tried to leave. Investigators reported that six rounds were fired and that a bullet passed through a children’s bedroom wall into a neighboring apartment.
