Enijua Turks Death – The woman who was fatally shot in a business parking lot on Bert Kouns Industrial Loop early Monday morning has been identified by the Caddo Parish Coroner’s Office. Enijua Turks, 18, was sitting in a car at the Whataburger restaurant on West Bert Kouns when she was shot multiple times. She was rushed to Ochsner LSU Health hospital, where she passed away approximately one hour later.
The Shreveport police are currently conducting an investigation into the shooting, which is believed to have originated from a confrontation between two armed individuals. Turks and another 19-year-old woman, who remains unidentified, were both shot. The injuries sustained by the second victim were deemed non-life threatening by the authorities.
While a person believed to be the shooter was apprehended at the scene, no arrests have been made at this time. The Shreveport Police Department detectives are collaborating with the Caddo Parish District Attorney’s Office to determine the appropriate actions to take as the investigation progresses, as stated by Cpl. Chris Bordelon in a news release on Tuesday.
