SHREVEPORT, LOUISIANA — A man has been arrested and charged with second-degree murder in the July 27 shooting death of a 16-year-old girl in Shreveport.
Jon Scott, 25, was taken into custody today by the Shreveport Police Homicide Unit, along with the U.S. Marshals Task Force. Police found Scott while executing a search warrant at an undisclosed location. He was arrested without incident.
The arrest follows an investigation into a shooting that happened around 1:40 a.m. on July 27 in a shopping center parking lot on North Market Street. Police say a large crowd had gathered when multiple vehicles exchanged gunfire in the roadway.
The victim, Hailey McDonald, was struck by a bullet and later died at Ochsner LSU Health. Investigators initially obtained a warrant for Scott for illegal use of weapons before gathering additional evidence that led to the upgraded murder charge.
