The overall numbers for crime are down for the month of March, but aggravated assault and homicides are up by 49%.
Just in the month of March Shreveport experienced 11 homicides, which is a 1,000% increase from March of 2020. A year ago, part of March was under a stay-at-home order due to COVID-19.
During a recent press conference addressing Shreveport’s gun violence, Shreveport Chief of Police Ben Raymond spoke to the crowd. During his speech, he pleaded with the audience to take a stand in ending this city-wide violence.
