On a January Sunday in 2023, 33-year-old Latounda Rena Bryant of Shreveport, Louisiana, was inside a home on Sugar Street in the Martin Luther King Jr. Neighborhood when a dark-colored SUV pulled up and multiple people emerged. Witnesses reported the group fired at least 40 shots into the house, striking eight people, including three young children. All victims were taken to Ochsner LSU Health; the children were expected to survive, another adult woman was critical, and Bryant was among those grievously wounded.

Bryant survived for several days but died of her injuries on a Thursday in late January, becoming the fifth homicide in Caddo Parish for 2023. Police described the attack as targeted and publicly urged the shooters to surrender, saying detectives would identify and apprehend those responsible. No arrests or suspect identifications have been reported online.
