Man dies in stabbing
A 21-year-old Shreveport man died this morning after being stabbed during a domestic-related argument in the 300 block of Bentway.
Nicholas Benson, who was stabbed in the chest, died on arrival to LSU Hospital after being transported by Life Air.
An investigation into the incident revealed that Benson and a 20-year-old Shreveport man got into a fight in the yard of a Bentway home. They reportedly were fighting over a girl.
It appears that the stabbing was a justifiable homicide and no criminal charges will be filed at this time. However, when the investigation is completed by Shreveport detectives, it will be referred to the district attorney’s office screening section for review.
