Sherpatrick Washington Obituary, Death – A tragic incident unfolded late Sunday night in Shreveport, where a woman was fatally shot in her own home. Authorities with the Shreveport Police Department confirmed that the shooting occurred in the Fairfield neighborhood and resulted in the death of 26-year-old Sherpatrick Washington.

The fatal shooting took place around 9:45 p.m. in the 1000 block of Dalzell Street. According to investigators, Washington was inside her home at the time of the incident. Reports indicate that a four-door sedan approached the area, reversing out of a driveway and onto Eustis Street, which is adjacent to the victim’s home. From the back passenger side of the vehicle, a male suspect exited while holding a handgun.

Without warning, the man opened fire toward Washington, striking her twice in the head. The shooting was deliberate and targeted. When police arrived at the scene, Washington was found unresponsive and later pronounced dead. She was reportedly shot at close range, leaving her with fatal injuries that could not be treated in time.

The Caddo Parish Coroner’s Office identified the victim and officially confirmed her death. With this case, Sherpatrick Washington becomes the 24th homicide victim in Shreveport so far this year.

Authorities have not yet disclosed any information about a possible motive behind the shooting or the identity of the shooter. No arrests had been made at the time of the report, and it is unclear whether the shooter fled the scene on foot or returned to the vehicle before escaping. The vehicle description provided by police — a four-door sedan — may help lead to further clues.
