Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:04):
Welcome to Shreveport, Louisiana All Hoods Documentary. Let travel into
the world of true crime with They Fear Truth TV
and Paramount Pictures. Today, let's venture into Shreveport, Louisiana, where
gang rivalries turned the streets into a battlefield in the
early two thousands. This is the story of the deadly
feud between the Hoovers and the nineteen Gangsters. Let's start

(00:28):
with Calvin Reid, known on the streets as Hoover Red.
He was a prominent member of the Hoovers, a gang
that had a powerful grip on certain neighborhoods in Shreveport.
The Hoovers weren't just your regular street gang. They were organized, ruthless,
and deeply entrenched in the community. But they weren't the
only ones vying for control. Enter the nineteen Gangsters, a

(00:51):
rival gang that was equally determined to claim their territory.
The early two thousands saw these two gangs locked in
a deadly struggle for dominance. But these two gangs were
once joined together as one gang, Nineteen Hoover Gangsters. What
broke the unity? One day at a b Palmer Community Center,
one of the head Hoover's Nudy has a major fallout

(01:13):
with a head nineteen, which led to fights and later
shootings between the Hoovers and Nineteens. At the heart of
the controversy were the constant turf wars and the quest
for power and respect. Both gangs were involved in a
range of criminal activities, from drug trafficking to violent crimes.

(01:33):
The rivalry wasn't just about territory, it was about pride
and survival. Each side was willing to go to extreme
lengths to assert their dominance and protect their own Chittyschang
was known for his brutal tactics and his ability to
inspire loyalty among his fellow Hoovers and Nineteens. He was
a figure both feared and respected, and his actions often

(01:55):
made headlines. But he was also a target, constantly under
threat from the gang members, who were just as ruthless
and determined. The early two thousands were a particularly bloody period.
Both gangs engaged in tit for tat violence, with shootings
and retaliations becoming a grim routine. The streets were often

(02:16):
scenes of chaos, with innocent bystanders caught in the crossfire,
including a four year old Alyssa Brown four, who was
killed July fourth, two thousand and one. Her mother picture
as she talked to KOs La News twelve, as told
from slim Dion Lewis, If Shang wouldn't have never rode
behind Peewee, the Calvin Reid situation wouldn't have never happened.

(02:38):
And when I tell my story, boy, a lot of
people going to be exposed. The hood getting what the
hood getting by them young stars. My Hoe, Theresa McKenzie,
the one walked to the car where Shang was in,
and when she left, she called Reed and that's when
they pulled up and blocked Shang and money in. I
supposed to have been in the front, but my Eshia
wouldn't let me go. It was a dark time for Shreveport,

(02:59):
and the scars of that period are still felt today.
But amidst the violence and chaos, there were also stories
of resilience and hope. Community leaders and organizations worked tirelessly
to bring peace and offer support to those affected. Their efforts,
although often overshadowed by the violence, played a crucial role
in helping the community heal. The feud between the Hoovers

(03:22):
and the nineteen gangsters is a stark reminder of the
devastating impact of gang violence. It's a story of power, pride,
and the human cost of street warfare. But it's also
a story of a community's strength and the enduring hope
for a better future. Thanks for joining They Fear Truth
