Found growing on a chain link fence in Shreveport. My app says muscadine, but they are too small.

They are about the size of a blueberry. Just from the Internet search I’ve done, they look like elderberry or Pepper vine.

Elderberries grow on bushes, not vines.
Could it be a Virginia creeper vine? Those flower and make berries. Hard to tell from pic if we are talking about a vine or a bush growing along a fence.

Then they’re definitely not elderberries.
Google virgin creeper.
If it has exclusively leaves clustered in threes, it’s probably Boston ivy. VA creeper can have clusters of three, but mostly it will have leaves in bracts of five.

If it's a vine it might be wild muscadines. But they're usually a little bigger than a blueberry. Also make an excellent jelly

They have a more oval almost heat shaped leaf.

They can have 1 to 4 seeds.

Fruit matures in September–October. Fruit first green, then pink or bluish to shiny black at maturity, globe-shaped berries, about ¼ inch long, often with warty dots, in clusters; juicy but not edible. Seeds 1–4.

It's pepper vine, and you will be at war soon. It sends roots just under the grass all over the place. Kill it now. Hit it hard.

Any chance these might be mini cherries? I’ve never heard of such a thing, but they have definite pits, not seeds.
