The Caddo Sheriff's Office is continuing its investigation into an overnight shooting that sent two men to the hospital, said Sheriff Steve Prator.

Around 5:30 p.m. on Monday, the Sheriff's Office received information that a man who had been shot in the shoulder was at a convenience store at West 70th and Buncombe Road. That man, Ricky Blomgreen, 26, of the 5400 block of Asbury Lane in Shreveport, was then taken to University Health for treatment of his injuries.

Meanwhile, a second victim, 26-year-old Vincent Efferson, of the 5400 block of Chuck A Drive in Shreveport, went by private vehicle to Willis-Knighton Hospital where he was treated for a gunshot wound to the knee. 

Detectives said the shooting occurred inside Blomgreen's residence at 5457 Asbury Lane. It's believed the shooting was drug-related.

One arrest has been made so far. Whitney Cox, 28, of 5457 Asbury Lane, was arrested for obstruction of justice and criminal mischief for providing false information in the case.    

The investigation is still ongoing.
