Louisiana shooter Shamar Elkins’ chilling remarks before killing his 7 kids and their cousin

On a quiet Easter Sunday, Shamar Elkins called his parents in despair, speaking of divorce and wanting to end his life. Marcus Jackson tried to reassure him, but Elkins’ words—“some people don’t come back from their demons”—now echo over a shattered family.

Days later in Shreveport, police found a devastating scene: eight children killed, two women critically injured, and the suspect dead. What remains is grief—families mourning, responders scarred, and loved ones replaying that final call, wondering if anything could have changed it.
