SHREVEPORT, La. -- The Caddo Parish coroner has identified the man killed Wednesday night in a domestic-related shooting that also left a woman injured on Thurgood Circle in the city's Mooretown neighborhood.
The coroner said Rodney Lewis Jr., 26, was shot just after 9:30 p.m. and pronounced dead 7 minutes later.
Shreveport police said the shooting happened after the woman's current and former boyfriends got into a dispute. The current boyfriend was inside the house when the former boyfriend arrived and allegedly tried to force his way in.
Police said the former boyfriend, who has not been identified or arrested, kicked in the front door and started looking for the other man.
During the confrontation, the man inside fired several shots at the former boyfriend after he made entry.
The woman was unintentionally struck by the gunfire, police said.
The coroner said Lewis' death is the 30th homicide in the city in 2026.
