SHREVEPORT — Police in Shreveport have arrested a man accused of killing a 13-year-old in a shooting earlier this week that also injured a toddler and a 17-year-old.

According to Shreveport Police, Javieon Abbott was arrested on second-degree murder after the Monday evening shooting at Olde Salem Village Apartments that left 13-year-old Shamichael Russell dead. 

Police said that Abbott allegedly fired multiple shots toward the basketball court from a distance, striking the three juveniles.

"From the moment this case began, our detectives' determination to find justice for Shamichael, his family, and the other children who were injured never wavered. They worked nonstop through the night and throughout the day, following every lead and using every available resource until the person responsible was in custody," police said. 

Additional arrests are expected in the case, with Abbott likely facing additional charges as well, police added.
