Murder and Sex Crime Dominate Grand Jury Returns at Caddo Parish

Shreveport, LA – Homicide and rape, for which two Shreveport men were arrested this December, form the essence of substantial indictments returned by the Caddo Parish Grand Jury.

Historic December Indictments

The chilling incidents from the previous year concluded with justice being pursued diligently. On December 23, 2023, a street brawl escalated fatally when Rickey Tyrone Loyd, aged 30, allegedly shot 29-year-old Patrick Shaw Jr. in the chest. The confrontation occurred outside a house party situated within the 1500 block of Oakdale Street.

Following the tragic event, Loyd was apprehended and later booked into the Caddo Correctional Center on December 30, 2023. The court has since put forward a steep bond of $5 million for Loyd’s involvement in Shaw’s murder. The significant case holds the docket number 399442.

Sexual Assault Indictment

A horrifying incident of sexual assault has also hit the jury stand. Frankie Dwayne Wright, aged 37, has been undertaken with the serious charge of first-degree rape. Wright was placed in CCC on December 11, 2023, with a bond placed at $1 million. The case offers a chilling reminder of the stark reality of sex crimes in our society as it holds the docket number 399167.

Third Indictment a Mystery

Intriguingly, a third indictment has been placed without dislosing the named party or the exact crime. This sealed indictment appears to share a link with Wright’s alleged sex crime based on the severity of the charges. As it is a secret indictment, any further details pertaining to this case remain confidential and closely guarded by the Grand Jury.

All three cases represent a stringent pursuit of justice by the Caddo Parish District Attorney’s office. Citizens with further information or needing to report a crime can get in touch with the DA’s Office at (318) 226-6826, located on 501 Texas St., 5th Floor, Shreveport, LA 71101.

Other available resources include the Victim Assistance line at (318) 226-5904, Child Support line at (318) 226-6871, Child Abuse Hotline 1-855-4LA-KIDS, and the NWLA Family Justice Center at (318) 584-7171. For anyone needing a Protective Order from the District Court or Juvenile Court, they can contact (318) 226-6776 or 1 (888) 411-1333 and (318) 226-6772 respectively.

Continuing, it is crucial for all to remember that every person is deemed innocent until proven guilty by the court of law.
