In the house in Shreveport, Louisiana, police found eight children, seven of whom were children of suspect Shamar Elkins and one being his cousin, dead. Bordelon said most of the victims were shot in the head while they were sleeping. The suspect was identified as Shamar Elkins.

Elkins’ wife, as well as a woman believed to be his girlfriend, were also shot and seriously injured in the violence. The eight-year-old child reportedly tried escaping from the roof before he was shot.
