A family argument in Shreveport, Louisiana, turned deadly on May 30, 2023, when 24-year-old LilCharles Johnson was shot multiple times and later died, the Caddo Parish Coroner’s office confirmed. The shooting happened at a gas station on Monkhouse Drive near Interstate 20 and followed a simmering dispute between LilCharles and his younger brother.

Shreveport Police took the younger brother into custody at the scene. He was identified as Lil Anthony Johnson and was charged with second-degree murder and being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm. The case later moved through the courts and concluded with a plea to a reduced manslaughter charge that was accepted by the court; a 20-year prison sentence followed with the victim’s family consenting to the plea.
