Tyrell Odell

How they died

Vehic/Purs

Tyrell Odell was a passenger who died after a police chase and crash just before midnight. Police said the chase started with a report of an armed robbery in the 400 block of Seneca Trail. When officers arrived on the scene, the victims reportedly told them a man with a gun walked up and took items from them. The man then reportedly got into a small white other and fled the scene. Later in the evening, the victim was reportedly in Bossier City when he spotted the other involved in the armed robbery and flagged down an officer. The officer gave chase, following the fleeing other into Shreveport. The truck crashed into a railroad overpass on the exit ramp from I-49 southbound to Hollywood Ave. and Pierremont Rd. and caught fire. Both the driver and passenger were taken to University Health, where the passenger, identified as Odell, was pronounced dead.
