An SUV hit Christopher Worley on North Market Street at Nelson Street in Shreveport, Louisiana, then took off. Worley was 61. The crash came at about 9:20 p.m. Saturday, October 10, 2026. He died at the scene by 9:24 p.m.
Police had just gotten a report of a possibly intoxicated man walking in the southbound lane. A witness spotted him there moments earlier. The vehicle struck him and the driver kept driving.
Shreveport Police Department is asking for help finding that driver. They need descriptions of the SUV or anyone who saw it leave. The investigation is still going.
The Caddo Parish Coroner’s Office ordered an autopsy on Worley. His body was taken into custody right after the crash. No arrest has been made yet.
That stretch of North Market Street sees steady traffic at night. A man on foot in the lane had nowhere to go when the SUV came through. The driver never stopped to render aid.
Local officers are piecing it together from the witness account and the call they received. They arrived to find Worley already down. Time of death was fixed at 9:24 p.m.
Tips can still make the difference. Police say if you were in the area that night, reach out. They want the person who drove away held to account.
