Amnesty Day to be held this month by the Shreveport City Marshal's Office. Here's what you need to know
On Saturday, June 21, the Shreveport City Marshal's Office will host its annual Amnesty Day from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Shreveport City Courthouse.
This will allow anyone who has outstanding warrants through the Shreveport City Court to have their warrants recalled and a new court date scheduled without fear of being arrested or additional fees.
Also, anyone with delinquent fines can get a new payment schedule.
According to the marshal's office, this is only for warrants and fines issued through Shreveport City Courts. Warrants that involve Domestic Abuse Battery, Battery of a Dating Partner, DWI's and probation will not be recalled and must post a bond.
Marshal James Jefferson encourages anyone who thinks that they may have an outstanding warrant or delinquent fines to take advantage of this opportunity.
Individuals must come in person with their ID.

Man kills son and wounds two others, then flees with kids in car, Texas cops say
A man shot three people, killing his son, then fled the scene with children, Texas police say and news outlets report. Wilfredo Lopez, 40, was arrested on charges of murder and aggravated assault before midnight Sunday, Aug. 10, the San Antonio Police Department said in a news release. No attorney information was available for Lopez as of the afternoon of Aug. 13. Officers spotted Lopez' vehicle after the shooting, took him into custody and rescued the three children he had taken with him, police said. The kids were not hurt. Earlier that night, police say Lopez shot a 22-year-old man and two women, ages 21 and 28, inside an apartment. The man died and the women were taken to a hospital in critical condition, according to authorities. The man was later identified as Jose Rivera, Wilfredo Lopez' son, KSAT reported. The two women he shot were his girlfriend and the mother of his children, officials told KENS. Wilfredo Lopez is also known as Jose Fredi Rivera-Mejia, U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement said in a news release, adding that he is in the country illegally despite having been removed three other times following encounters with law enforcement in 2009, 2012 and 2015. ICE officials said his first removal came after he was arrested in San Antonio on an assault charge, and his second was after he was arrested on a DWI charge. His third removal happened when U.S. Border Patrol apprehended him near Eagle Pass, near the Texas-Mexico border, and he 'admitted to entering the U.S. illegally,' officials said. Police have not said what may have motivated the shooting.
