Brothers face new federal charge after deadly Walgreens robbery in Shreveport

A federal grand jury has issued a superseding indictment against two brothers, Kevin Terrell Lewis (also known as Kelvin Lewis), 38, of Arlington, Texas, and Larry Dewayne Lewis, 44, of Shreveport. The new indictment adds a charge for causing the death of a Shreveport man during a robbery in the parking lot of a Walgreens store.

Last month, both men were charged with robbery and conspiracy to use, carry, brandish and discharge firearms during and in relation to a crime of violence. The latest indictment now includes an additional count that accuses them of causing the death of victim B.J. by using and discharging a firearm during the commission of these crimes. If convicted on this new charge, each defendant could face up to life in prison and fines up to $250,000.

According to the indictment, on January 22, 2025, Kevin and Larry Lewis allegedly robbed prescription drugs and a work van from B.J., who was making a delivery from Hackbarth Company to Walgreens at 3124 Line Avenue in Shreveport. It is further alleged that they used and discharged a firearm during this robbery resulting in B.J.'s death.

The indictment also states that on December 23, 2024, both brothers robbed approximately $500 from the owner or manager of Pull-Up Liquor at 5619 Hearne Avenue in Shreveport as he was closing his store.

Kevin Lewis faces additional charges related to using and brandishing semi-automatic firearms during these incidents. Both brothers are accused of conspiring to use firearms during robberies.
