Shreveport Police on the Hunt for Two Individuals Linked to Disturbing Sexual Assault Cases
The Shreveport Police Department is currently working on two unsettling cases involving allegations of sex crimes, and they need your help to locate two individuals who are wanted in relation to these cases. It’s a serious situation that has raised a lot of concern in the community, and police are urging anyone with information to step forward.
Elijah Jones: The Man in Question
Elijah Jones, a 20-year-old resident of Shreveport, is being sought by authorities after he was allegedly involved in a very serious crime concerning a minor. The investigation into Jones began in early 2024, and it recently took a significant step forward when a forensic interview was conducted with the victim at the Gingerbread House on March 26, 2025. During this important interview, the victim courageously shared details about the sexual assault that she had endured.
As a result of this investigation, law enforcement officials have issued a warrant for Jones on one count of felony carnal knowledge of a juvenile. This term may sound technical, but it essentially means that he is accused of engaging in sexual activities with a person under the legal age of consent. It’s a serious allegation and one that carries severe legal consequences if proven true.
Kaliyah Washington: Another Case of Concern
In a separate case, another individual has also caught the attention of the Shreveport Police Department. Kaliyah Washington is currently wanted as part of a different investigation that was reported on February 11, 2025. Washington faces accusations of a highly troubling nature—she is said to have distributed explicit photos of a victim without their consent through her Instagram account.
The victim in this case is identifiable in the explicit image that was located during a court-authorized warrant following an investigation with Meta, the parent company of Instagram. Police have confirmed that the Instagram account linked to these images indeed belongs to Washington. Following these developments, authorities have taken the necessary steps and issued a warrant for her arrest on the charge of nonconsensual disclosure of a private image.
What’s Next?
This is a developing situation, and it has understandably raised alarm among community members. The Shreveport Police Department is committed to ensuring the safety of the community and is actively working to bring those involved in these cases to justice.
Residents who recognize either of these individuals or have any information that might assist police are strongly encouraged to reach out.

These cases highlight the need for vigilance and support among residents, especially when it comes to keeping children and vulnerable individuals safe from harm.
