Deputies with the Caddo Parish Sheriff’s Office responded to a call to rescue a man who had fallen into the Wallace Lake.  

Just before noon, Caddo Sheriff’s deputies were dispatched to Wallace Lake to assist firefighters with Caddo Fire District 5 on a call that a Shreveport man had fallen into the lake.

At 12:02 p.m. deputies were able to pull the man out of the water who was unresponsive. Firefighters performed CPR on the man and transported him to Willis Knighton Piermont where he died at 12:53 p.m.

It has not been determined if the man died from drowning or if he had a medical condition. After an autopsy the Caddo Coroner’s Office will make that announcement.

At the time of this release the identity of the man is being withheld until his family has been notified.
