Police arrest suspect in Sunday shooting
Bossier City Police Department helped Shreveport police arrest a man wanted for attempted second-degree homicide late Tuesday night.
Lavoriss Powell, 19, of the 7000 block of Bethany was taken to Shreveport City Jail after Bossier City police received a tip that Powell was at a girl’s house in the 1500 block of Cox in Bossier City.
Officers arrested Powell without incident as he exited the rear door of the home. He was taken to Shreveport City Jail where he was booked on the attempted homicide charge. His bond has been set at $250,000.
Powell is charged with shooting 24-year-old Anedria Anderson as she drove through the intersection of 70th Street and Line Avenue. Powell reportedly was shooting at a couple in a black Grand Am at the Citgo station on the corner there when a bullet inadvertently hit Anderson.
Police still want to question the couple in the Grand Am. They are not wanted for a crime. If anyone knows who these people are, please call Detective Van Wray at 673-6955.
