Shreveport Man Sentenced to Life for Murder of Romantic Rival

A Shreveport man who shot and killed a romantic rival at a Pines Road apartment must spend the rest of his natural life in prison, a Caddo Parish judge has decreed.

District Judge Donald Hathaway Jr. sentenced Zhane Quinn Persley, 26, Thursday, August 22, to life in prison without benefit of probation, parole or suspension of sentence, as mandated by state law.

Persley was found guilty August 7 of the 2020 slaying of Devacseya Doyle, 24, shot to death at the Willow Trace apartments in the 8100 block of Pines Road on October 24, 2020. Persley confronted Doyle as he left an apartment with Persley's ex-girlfriend. Persley fired a single shot in the air, which caused Doyle to try to flee. As he ran away, Persley fired four more shots with a 9 mm handgun, with one bullet striking Doyle in the back of the head, killing him almost instantly.
