Media summary: Cartez Alexander reportedly shot and killed himself during a standoff with Shreveport police. Officers responded to reports of a shooting at Cynthia McCray's home and found McCray's 16-year-old son lying outside with a gunshot wound to his leg. As officers approached the home, they heard what sounded like a gunshot from inside. They called out hostage negotiators in attempts to contact Alexander, but had no luck getting him to come out. Investigators sent robotic equipment into the house and determined Alexander had died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Cynthia McCray, who was reportedly Alexander's ex-girlfriend, was fatally shot in the doorway.
