Original Story
An intensive manhunt is underway for 36-year-old Barry Rigsby, a suspect in a triple homicide in Shreveport. Shreveport Police Sergeant Angie Willhite says a woman conducting a welfare check on her son at a home in the Cedar Grove neighborhood found three deceased individuals, including a 12-year-old child.
“That lady arrived at the residence, found the back door of the residence open, she entered the residence and located three individuals, two were adults and one child and they had apparently been shot to death,” said Willhite.
Willhite says detectives arrived at the murder scene just before 2 AM. She says based on physical and video evidence collected, it’s been determined the homicide was the result of a domestic dispute and Rigsby is responsible for the murders.
“They procured a warrant for Rigsby and targeted him with three counts of second-degree murder in the murders of those three people,” said Willhite.
Rigsby is considered armed and dangerous. Willhite says his vehicle was located in Franklin Parish about 150-miles away from where the murders took place.
“We are asking for anyone with information to his whereabouts to contact us here at the Shreveport Police Department,” said Willhite.
