Shreveport Police Arrest Man for Battery of a 76 Year-Old Man

During an investigation, a 31 year-old man was identified as the suspect in the Second Degree Battery of a 76 year-old man.

Earlier this month, Shreveport Police got a call from Willis-Knighton South ER saying that an elderly male victim was being treated for injuries sustained during a violent incident.

Due to the severity of his injuries, including multiple brain bleeds, the victim was taken to Ochsner LSU Health Shreveport for further treatment.

Investigators, obtained an arrest warrant for Devuntre Dismuke on charges of Second Degree Battery. Last week, Dismuke turned himself in at the Caddo Correctional Center.
