The collision at West 70th Street and Pines Road at 2:00 p.m. on Friday, September 27, 2024, claimed the life of 37-year-old Matthew Rhoden.
Angie Wilhite, a public information officer for the SPD, reports that two cars were involved in the collision.
At approximately 2:00 pm, officers responded to reports of a significant accident in the 6500 block of West 70th St., close to the KOA Campground.

There was just one car—a white van was in the road, and a blue sportscar was in the ditch.
According to Wilhite, one of the cars included two SPD officers. While the other person was brought to the hospital with potentially fatal injuries, Matthew Rhoden passed away at the spot.
A comparison of his fingerprints allowed for a definite identification.
It is not thought that the white van’s driver is hurt.
Twelve police cars, the Louisiana State Police, and the Shreveport Fire Department are all present at the scene.
Wilhite urged everyone to offer prayers for the police and our department.
The Shreveport Police Department is still looking into the wreck.
They requested an autopsy.
