Patrol officers arrested Nunn in the 200 block of Egan Street on Sunday. He is currently in the Shreveport City Jail awaiting transfer to Caddo Correctional Center. See below for details on his charge.

Shreveport Police need the public's help in finding a man who shot another man over a $2 card game.

Shortly before 7 p.m. on July 3rd, officers responded to the 200 block of St. Luke in reference to a shooting.  When officers got to the scene, they found 45-year-old Darrell Hillard suffering from a single gunshot wound.  The suspect, 39-year-old Gary Nunn, of Shreveport is a black male six feet two inches tall weighing approximately 160 pounds, with a thin mustache and completely bald.

Nunn has an extensive criminal history involving violent offenses.  He was recently paroled after serving an 18-year sentence for numerous armed robberies.  

On Wednesday, Shreveport Detectives were able to get a Warrant for Attempted 2nd Degree Murder for Nunn.  Nunn should be considered armed and dangerous. 

Gary Nunn is known to frequent the Allendale area and is thought to be hiding out in that area.
