Man killed in neighborhood shootout

A shootout in a west Shreveport neighborhood just before noon today left a man dead. The man who shot him appears to have acted in self-defense, police said.

The shooting happened at Adrian and Kelly Key streets in Mooretown.

Killed was Anthony Riley, 38, of Adrian Street.

Police said there was an ongoing dispute between Riley and a 43-year-old man. It escalated today, witnesses said, and Riley pulled a gun and started shooting at the other man in the middle of the street. The other man returned fire, hitting Riley in the chest.

The case will be referred to the Caddo district attorney's office for a decision on charges. The name of the man who shot Riley was not made public because no charges were filed.
