Tyniece Haley was an 18-year-old recent Southwood High School graduate described by her mother as loved and good spirited. She was shot and killed on the evening of March 5, 2023 during an altercation that began at a pre-arranged fight in the parking lot of the Hot Wheels Skating Palace on the 5100 block of Bert Kouns Industrial Loop in Shreveport. Officers arriving about 8 p.m. found her deceased from a gunshot wound to the back of her head. Her death was recorded as the 16th homicide in Shreveport and Caddo Parish that year.

Investigators identified two suspects quickly. On March 8, 2023 police arrested 19-year-old Tristen Thomas and later that day arrested 19-year-old Natoya Dixon; both were booked on one count of second-degree murder. A Caddo Parish Grand Jury returned an indictment against Natoya Dixon on June 24, 2023 and the case was proceeding through the court system as of June 2023.

If anyone has information about the shooting or knew Tyniece, please share what is known with the Shreveport Police Department.
