Shreveport police and the Caddo Parish Coroner have identified the woman found shot to death inside a vehicle Thursday afternoon as 22-year-old Imunique Williams, officials said.
Scene and timeline
Authorities say officers discovered Williams’ body inside a car near the intersection of 61st Street and Linwood Avenue at about 3:30 p.m.. According to the coroner’s news release, she "was declared dead at 3:49 p.m." The discovery came amid a larger, chaotic scene that began earlier on Attaway Street and involved multiple victims.
Alleged chase, crash and additional victims
Police say the violence escalated when 23-year-old Thomas Lemons chased the vehicle carrying Williams and shot at it. During the pursuit, investigators allege Lemons crossed into oncoming traffic and struck another vehicle driven by 57-year-old Chuckie Brooks. Brooks later died at a hospital from injuries sustained in the crash.
Officers say Lemons also fired at other people during the incident; several were shot but none of those additional victims suffered fatal wounds, according to police. Lemons has been charged with second-degree murder, and authorities said more charges are expected as the investigation continues.
"She was declared dead at 3:49 p.m.,"
What police are still investigating
Investigators are working to piece together the full sequence of events: how the confrontation began on Attaway Street, whether the victims were targeted or caught in indiscriminate gunfire, and the precise movements of the vehicles involved. Police have linked Williams’ death to the multi-victim shooting but have not released additional motives or statements from suspects beyond formal charges.
This is an active investigation; officials have not released a motive or further details about the other injured people. Community members with information are asked to contact Shreveport police as investigators build their case.
- Victim identified: Imunique Williams, 22
