Man injured, brother killed in Vivian shooting; ID of victim released by coroner

VIVIAN, La. (KSLA) — The Caddo Parish Coroner’s Office has released the name of the man killed in a double shooting in Vivian Sunday night (Sept. 10).

His death marks the 63rd homicide in the parish in 2023. An autopsy has been ordered.

The Caddo Parish Sheriff’s Office says Anderson’s 22-year-old brother was also shot during the incident. Responding officers found him inside the home suffering from a gunshot wound to the chest.
