Detectives from Shreveport Police have obtained a warrant for a man who is suspected to be behind the murder of Raymond Behan that occurred in early May on Common Street in downtown Shreveport, Louisiana.

Police patrol officers in Shreveport responded to a shooting incident in the 700 Block of Common Street, on May 7, 2023, shortly after 5:20 in the morning.
