Shreveport Police officers arrested a woman after responding to a domestic violence incident involving a firearm early Saturday morning.

On November 30, 2024, at approximately 3:17 a.m., officers were dispatched to an apartment at 1535 River Parkway Boulevard, Apt. 803, in reference to an armed person. Upon arrival, officers contacted the victim, who reported that his girlfriend, 27-year-old Sade Fortune, had pointed a firearm at his head and pulled the trigger. Fortunately, the gun was not loaded.

The victim further stated that Fortune was also armed with a knife during the altercation, resulting in a cut to his hand. According to the victim, the incident stemmed from a conflict related to his involvement with another woman.
