Shreveport police have identified a suspect in connection to a triple homicide on the early morning of Thursday, November 4.
36-year-old Barry Rigsby faces three charges of second-degree murder. A manhunt is underway at this time, and law enforcement officers are asking for Rigsby to turn himself in immediately.
Dispatchers first got the call just before 2 a.m. to a home in the 400 block of W. 82nd Street in Shreveport, Louisiana.
Police say a mother of one of the residents checked the back door to the building. That’s when police say, she discovered the bodies of two males and a female, all shot to death. One of the victims was a 12-year-old boy.
A relative identified the victims as 28-year-old Adriana Perry Rigsby, wife of suspect, her son, 12-year-old Xavier Perry, and her brother 18-year-old Joshua Perry, who lived in the home.
The relative said Barry ‘Rico’ Rigsby was still living in home. Xavier was his stepson.

“Right now, we developed a suspect (profile) that we put out a BOLO on,” said Cpt. Jerry Oglee. “Driving a possibly burgundy 2016 Dodge Journey, and that’s who we’re looking for.”
Police are searching for a 2016 Dodge Journey, such as the one above. The vehicle may be either burgundy or red in color.
