UPDATE: An arrest has been made in the investigation of a triple homicide that occurred at in the 2000 block of Grammont Street in Monroe. A statement from the Monroe Police Department is as follows:
“At approximately 2:56 a.m. on October 28, 2025, Monroe Police Department (MPD) officers responded to reports of a shooting in the 2000 block of Grammont Street. Upon arrival, officers discovered the lifeless bodies of 27-year-old Jamal Bosley, 25-year-old Jaborris Simpson and a two-year-old female child.
MPD officers and detectives have worked tirelessly to identify and locate those responsible for this senseless act of violence. Through their efforts — along with valuable assistance from the public — detectives arrested 24-year-old Travis Payton. Payton has been charged with three counts of First-Degree Murder, Home Invasion, and Criminal Conspiracy.
MPD remains committed to bringing all individuals involved in this despicable crime to justice. We will not stop until every person responsible for the deaths of these victims, including the tragic loss of a two-year-old child, is held accountable.
As always, MPD encourages anyone with additional information to contact the Monroe Police Department at (318) 329-2600 or Crime Stoppers of North Delta at (318) 388-2274 (CASH).”
The Monroe Police Department is investigating a triple homicide. One of the victims was a two-year-old girl. Monroe Mayor Friday Ellis says they were gunned down in an overnight shooting on Grammont Street.
“A two-year-old child, who was defenseless, life was taken from them by people with evil intentions. We also had two other individuals who died with this. And I believe it really should be a moral wake-up call,” Ellis said.
The other two victims are adults.
Monroe Police Chief Vic Zordan says they are offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the shooter.
“You’ve got a baby killer that’s running around on the loose right now. We’ve got some very good leads, by some fine detective work, that are leading us in the right direction. So I’m hopeful that we’ll have this special kind of criminal in jail very soon,” Zordan said.
Zordan is urging people not to take justice in their own hands as he’s concerned about retaliatory shootings.
Ellis says this violent event will not be tolerated.
“We have made so many strides, as far as crime reductions within the city, but this is a sobering wake-up call that there is just so much more work to be done,” Ellis said.
