Shreveport, LA: Man killed in apparent home invasion

A man was shot and killed this morning after he broke into his ex-girlfriend's apartment in west Shreveport, police say.

The man, Edward J. Willliams, was shot in an apartment in the 9000 block of Walker Road after he kicked in the door of the apartment occupied by his former girlfriend, her current boyfriend and two small children, a report from the Shreveport Police Department said.

Officers responded to the apartment after getting a call at 2:39 a.m. that a man the woman knew was kicking in the door. On arrival, the officers found the intruder with a single gunshot wound to his head. He was pronounced dead at the scene, the release said.

Witnesses told detectives the intruder aggressively approached the current boyfriend, who was armed with a handgun and fired several shots at his assailant.

No charges have been filed in connection with the shooting, police said, but the matter will be turned over to the Caddo Parish District Attorney's office for review.
