Man arrested in domestic shooting

A Keithville man was arrested for a domestic shooting that occurred at his home on Springridge-Texas State Line Road on Sunday, said Caddo Sheriff Steve Prator in a news release.

Around 5 p.m., deputies were dispatched to the 9800 block on a 911 call where Adam Darnell had been shot in the left leg. The suspect, Veshawn Spann, had fled the scene.

Patrol Deputy Matt Luckey and Sgt. Greg Ardoin located Spann a short while later at Colquitt and Woolworth roads where he was taken into custody. Detectives returned to the scene today and located the weapon believed to have been used in the shooting in a ditch near where the arrest took place.

Prator said the shooting was the result of ongoing tension between Darnell and Spann, who live in the same house along with Spann's mother.

Darnell, 37, is recovering at LSU Health Sciences Center. Spann, 21, was booked into the Caddo Correctional Center on charges of aggravated second-degree battery and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. He was also booked on an outstanding burglary warrant.
