A Shreveport woman remains in critical condition Monday while her accused attacker faces attempted murder charges.

Shortly after 7:30 p.m. Sunday, Shreveport Police patrol officers were called to the 6600 block of Liberty Street relative to a shooting.

As officers arrived at the scene they learned the victim, 39-year-old Mariam Tamica Harley, was suffering what appeared to be multiple gunshot wounds to the body.

Harley was transferred to University Health.

Investigators with the Shreveport Police Department's Violent Crimes Unit responded to the scene where authorities detained 48-year-old Steven Killingworth of Grand Prairie Texas.

Preliminary information and evidence gathered at the scene suggests Killingworth was the alleged gunman responsible for shooting Harley.

Killingworth reportedly arrived at Harley's residence unannounced and confronted her with a gun.

When Harley attempted to leave, it's believed Killingworth opened fire striking Harley multiple times.

Evidence gathered indicated Harley and Killingworth had dated prior to the incident and recently ended their relationship.

A gun was recovered at the scene and investigators claim it may be the weapon used in the shooting.

Killingworth was transported to University Health for treatment of injuries he received as he was subdued by persons at the scene.

Killingworth has been charged with attempted second degree murder. Following his release from the hospital, Killingworth will be booked into the Shreveport City Jail.
