A Webster Parish man who was severely beaten outside a downtown Shreveport nightclub last month reportedly died from his injuries Saturday, Feb. 15.

Caddo Parish Coroner Todd Thoma identified the victim as 43-year-old Christopher J. Temple.

According to Shreveport police reports, Temple and another man were leaving a bar on Spring Street in the early morning hours of Jan. 26 when they began to argue. A physical fight ensued and the two men left.

Police say the man later returned to a nightclub in the 400 block of Commerce Street where he reportedly attacked Temple outside the club. Witness reports say Temple was struck in the face and knocked unconscious. He reportedly fell backward, hitting his head on the sidewalk. His attacker reportedly fled the scene.

Police and EMS crews responded and reportedly found Temple unconscious on the ground, suffering from severe facial and head injuries. He reportedly underwent surgery at Ochsner LSU Health Hospital and was then transferred to The Carpenter’s House Hospice where he died Saturday.

According to reports, Shreveport police initially arrested 25-year-old Trevor Moses on Feb. 6 charging him with second-degree battery after a witness identified him as a suspect in the attack on Temple. In a statement today (Tuesday), police said surveillance footage confirmed that witness’ account.

Shreveport detectives and the Caddo Parish District Attorney’s Office reportedly are conferring to determine if additional charges will be filed, including upgrading to homicide.
