On Friday, May 16, 2025, at approximately 9:53 a.m., Shreveport Police Department Uniformed Patrol Officers were dispatched to The Oaks of Louisiana independent living facility, located at 600 E. Flournoy Lucas Road, in reference to a deceased person call.

Multiple members of the Violent Crimes Unit responded to the scene, and an investigation was initiated.

Officers learned that family members of 89-year-old Katherine Green arrived at the facility that moring after becoming concerned when she missed a scheduled appointment and could not be reached by phone. Upon checking her residence, they discovered the door to her housing unit was unsecured, and Ms. Green was not inside. There were no signs of forced entry.

A short time later, staff members at the facility located Ms. Green’s body in a Canal located down a hill near her residence. 

Family members reported last speaking with Ms. Green the night prior, around 9:30 p.m.

At this time, there are no signs of foul play. The Caddo Parish Coroner’s Office responded to the scene and assumed custody of Ms. Green’s body. The investigation remains ongoing, but no criminal activity is suspected.
