A Shreveport man who fired more than a dozen shots into his girlfriend’s former boyfriend in the parking lot of a Highland neighborhood apartment complex must serve 70 years in prison at hard labor, a Caddo District Court judge has ruled.
Antonio LeCedric Ray Johnson, 39, convicted of manslaughter September 27, 2024, was sentenced by District Judge Chris Victory as a habitual offender, allowing an enhanced sentence.
Johnson killed his romantic rival, Travarrius Adams, at the Oak Meadows apartments in the 1900 block of Centenary Boulevard on May 27, 2020. Adams drove his girlfriend’s vehicle into the apartment complex, accompanied by her and her two young children, and parked next to a vehicle driven by his ex-girlfriend and in which Johnson was a front-seat passenger.
Johnson exited the vehicle armed with a 9mm handgun and fired at least 13 shots, 12 of which struck Adams.
Assistant District Attorneys Christopher Bowman and Bill Edwards prosecuted Johnson. He was defended by T-Dale Woolbert.
The case was docket No. 376991.
