Shreveport Police investigators are seeking information into an overnight shooting which left one man dead and two others injured.
Just after 10:30 p.m. on June 9, 2019, Shreveport Police patrol officers were called to the 200 block of Texas Street relative to a shooting. As officers arrived at the scene, it was learned three victims were suffering gunshot wounds after shots rang out outside the Royalty Cigar and Hookah Lounge. It is believed a verbal dispute inside the establishment spilled outside onto the sidewalk where a subsequent dispute led to gunfire.

Leejerryius Baines, 29, of Shreveport, died as a result of his injuries shortly after his arrival at the hospital. The two other victims, a male and female adult, remain in serious condition. The roles of those persons shot have not fully been established in the matter; however, authorities are working feverishly to dissect all aspects of information gathered during this ongoing inquiry. Persons with any information about this crime are urged to contact Crimestoppers at (318) 673-7373 or visit P3tips.com to leave a tip online.
