SHREVEPORT, La. — A Shreveport man convicted in June of a drug-related murder will not only serve a mandatory life term in prison without parole, but he was also sentenced to an additional decade in prison for violating the terms of a probation granted for an earlier murder attempt. 22-year-old, Lloyd Cooks, was sentenced by District Judge Chris Victory for the June 2022 killing of Jeremy “Ruru” Wyatt. The two met at a local gas station for a marijuana transaction that turned into murder. Cooks had previously been convicted in 2022, of aggravated battery, a lesser charge than that originally lodged against him, for the attempted second-degree murder October 27, 2020, of Malcolm Simmons.
