SHREVEPORT, La. (KTAL/KMSS) – Shreveport police have arrested a man who was released from prison on August 11 after serving a 15-year sentence, according to Vine, a national service that keeps track of convicted prisoners.
Da’mon Lewis, 33, was taken into custody after SPD officers responded to shots fired call just before 2 p.m. Sunday in the 6100 block of Linwood Avenue.
Lewis, who pleaded guilty to attempted first-degree murder committed when he was only 17 years old, was taken into custody at the scene.
According to Shreveport Police booking information, Lewis is charged with illegal possession of a firearm, a felon in possession of a firearm, along with outstanding warrants from the Shreveport Police Department and the Caddo Parish Sheriff’s Office.
In a Bill of Information dated Sept. 7, 2006, the then 17-year-old Lewis was charged with one count of attempted first-degree murder and one count of an attempted armed robbery that took place on May 23, 2006.
He also had five additional armed robbery charges and an aggravated burglary charge that stemmed from a crime spree over the three-day period of May 31-June 2, 2006.
It is unknown whether Lewis had any prior criminal convictions, as he turned 17 on April 15, 2006, and anything prior to that would have been a juvenile offense. Juvenile records are sealed in the state of Louisiana.
