The shooter didn’t miss—three people were struck within seconds, two of them fatally, as bullets tore through the interior of a black sedan caught in the chaos of Shreveport’s evening rush. The coordinated attack unfolded on **Clyde Fant Memorial Parkway**, where a second vehicle pulled alongside the victims’ car with chilling precision. According to witnesses, the passenger in that vehicle leaned out and opened fire
without even a shouted threat, unleashing a rapid burst of gunshots that echoed across the busy roadway.Drivers nearby described ducking behind their dashboards as the sharp cracks rang out, followed by the sight of the black sedan swerving violently. Smoke began rising from the hood as the car lost control, veering into a grassy median along the northbound lanes near **Line Avenue**.
The vehicle came to rest at an angle, its windows shattered and its doors riddled with bullet holes—an unmistakable sign of targeted violence rather than a spontaneous confrontation.When first responders arrived, the scene was already grim. Inside the rear seat, a young man and woman—both believed to be in their twenties—were found dead, their injuries too severe for any lifesaving measure. A
third individual, whose position in the vehicle has not yet been confirmed, was rushed to the hospital in critical condition. Officers placed crime scene tape around a wide perimeter as they examined shell casings scattered along the roadway and inspected the victims’ car for additional evidence.Detectives are now working to determine whether the shooting was connected to a prior dispute, a retaliatory
act, or an ambush driven by unknown motives. Surveillance footage from traffic cameras and nearby businesses is being reviewed, and investigators are urging witnesses to come forward. In a city already grappling with rising gun violence, the brazen rush-hour attack has intensified calls for answers—and justice—for the young lives cut short.
