A federal grand jury has issued a superseding indictment against two brothers, Kevin Terrell Lewis, 38, of Arlington, Texas, and Larry Dewayne Lewis, 44, of Shreveport. The new charge alleges that they caused the death of a Shreveport man identified as B.J. by using and discharging a firearm during a robbery at a Walgreens store parking lot.
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 adds another count for causing death through the use of a firearm. If convicted on this charge, each could face up to life in prison and a fine of up to $250,000.
According to the indictment, on January 22, 2025, Kevin and Larry Lewis robbed prescription drugs and a work van from victim B.J., who was making a delivery from the Hackbarth Company to Walgreens at 3124 Line Avenue in Shreveport. It is now alleged that they used and discharged a firearm during this robbery, resulting in B.J.’s death.
The indictment also includes allegations that on December 23, 2024, the brothers robbed approximately $500 from the owner or manager of Pull-Up Liquor at 5619 Hearne Avenue in Shreveport as he was closing the store.
Kevin Lewis faces additional charges related to using and brandishing semi-automatic firearms during these crimes. Both brothers are accused of conspiring to use firearms during robberies.

“An indictment is merely an accusation, and a defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.”
