The Caddo Sheriff's Office is investigating a double shooting that occurred in south Shreveport early Sunday morning, according to Sheriff Steve Prator.

Patrol deputies were called to 2743 Long Branch Lane just before 5 a.m. One man was dead at the scene and a second was transported to Ochsner's University Health where he also died.

Detectives are still conducting their investigation but were told by the female homeowner that her former boyfriend broke into the residence through the master bedroom window and shot her current boyfriend.

The Caddo Parish Coroner's office identified the two men as Perry Bailey, 36, of Barksdale Air Force Base and Brandan C. Brown, 39, of Bossier City.

According to reports, Bailey was shot and mortally wounded by Brown, who then shot himself. Brown died at the Long Branch Lane address. Bailey was taken to Ochsner LSU Health hospital where he died at 5:39 a.m.

Autopsies for both men have been ordered to be conducted at Ochsner on Monday.

The woman and five children in the house - ages 6 to 17 - were able to escape through the kitchen door and call 911 from a cell phone. As they were fleeing the residence, the woman said she heard another shot inside the home.

Deputies arrived to find both Bailey and Brown lying on the master bedroom floor with gunshot wounds.

Bailey was identified through fingerprint comparison and by the commander of Barksdale Air Force Base. Brown was identified through fingerprint comparison.

The investigation is being conducted by Detective Matthew Lucky.
