Shreveport teen found guilty of 2020 Hollywood Avenue murder
A Shreveport teen was found guilty of murder Wednesday for the shooting of three people in July 2020.
On July 19, a family from Rayville, Louisiana drove up to Shreveport to visit Splash Kingdom and stayed at the Country Inn Suites hotel on Hollywood Avenue.
After a day at the waterpark, the family returned to the hotel where an argument occured between one of the victims and Jamison. In court, it was revealed that the argument began after one victim came into contact with a girl who asked him about his tattoos. Jamison, who was present, got involved an argument.
This argument did not escalate at that time, and the parties returned to their rooms. Later the victim, Ha'Shoun Ka'Keem Collins, 22, saw Jamison outside and confronted him about the argument that happened earlier.
Collins and Jamison had a brief conversation and they both shook hands and separated. However, Jamison then commented to Collins that he felt disrespected and pulled out a 9-mm handgun and shot Collins in the chest, ultimately killing him.
Jamison then shot the victim he had argued with earlier in the chest as well, as well as a third man, Collins' brother. These two victims survived.
Jamison was found guilty of second-degree murder and attempted second-degree murder, as well as a lesser charge, aggravated assault with a firearm. He will return to court on Sept. 12, for his sentencing. He is facing a mandatory life sentence at hard labor without the benefit of probation, parole or suspension.
