The Caddo Parish District Attorney’s office is set to retry the case of Treyvious Djuan Dotie, 26. A new trial date will be set on July 1, 2024 in Caddo District Judge Donald E. Hathaway Jr.’s courtroom. Dotie is charged with second-degree murder. He is accused of murdering Bryan Theus, 19 outside Mall St. Vincent in Shreveport.
In July of 2020, Shreveport Police responded to reports of a shooting at Dillard’s and found Theus outside of the entry to the store with multiple gunshot wounds. The confrontation is believed to have begun inside the store after the two exchanged words. Theus followed Dotie outside. Dotie then pulled a handgun and shot Theus several times before leaving the scene.
Dotie returned to the store a short time later and surrendered to authorities. Theus was later pronounced dead.
A mistrial was declared in the case on May 22, 2024 after a jury was unable to reach a verdict.
