SHREVEPORT, La. (KTAL/KMSS) – After receiving a probation for a previous attempted murder charge, a Shreveport man will still find himself permanently living life behind bars.

Lloyd Tremaine Cooks, 22, was found guilty of second-degree murder for the slaying of 31-year-old Jeremy "Ruru" Wyatt.

On August 11, 2025, a Caddo Parish judge ruled that Cooks must pay for the crime for the rest of his life for the June 2025 murder.

According to police reports, the two met at a gas station to make a transaction for marijuana when things took a turn.

Before the purchase ended, Cooks left his car and fired more than two dozen shots from two guns at Wyatt, killing him.

A forensic pathologist testified that Wyatt died from multiple gunshot wounds from not only a pistol but also a rifle.
