A Shreveport man with a history of domestic violence was found guilty in Caddo District Court Tuesday, February 11, 2025, of strangling and battering a female domestic partner.
Nakadrian Oshee Sanders, 24, was found guilty as charged of battering his live-in girlfriend and strangling her to unconsciousness on September 24, 2024. He testified on his own behalf. Prosecutors with the Caddo DA’s Special Victims Unit called the victim in the September attack to testify, as well as a prior intimate partner who testified about him abusing her in 2021 and 2023. The state also called a responding officer and a fingerprint expert. During the attack, Sanders beat the victim, locked her out of their home and strangled her.
The nine-woman, three-man jury in District Judge Donald E. Hathaway Jr.’s court deliberated approximately one hour before returning its verdicts.
Sanders has two prior convictions for domestic violence, in Bossier Parish in 2020 and in Caddo in 2021.
When Sanders returns to court March 12, 2025, he faces from one to five years in prison for Domestic Abuse Battery, third offense, and from five to 50 years in prison for domestic abuse battery strangulation with serious bodily injury.
Sanders was prosecuted by Assistant District Attorneys Britney A. Green and Ron Christopher Stamps. He was defended by Evan McMichaels and Katherine Ferguson.
The case was docket No. 404285.
