Shreveport Police officers were dispatched to the 3000 block of Dallas Street in reference to a reported stabbing on the morning of July 12 just after 9am. Upon arrival, officers located 63-year-old Debbie
Jones suffering from multiple stab wounds. Tragically, Jones was pronounced deceased at the scene by
responding officers.

Detectives with the Shreveport Police Department’s Violent Crimes Unit immediately launched an
investigation and quickly identified the victim’s son, 33-year-old Jacoby Page (DOB: 11/21/1991), as the
primary suspect. After the incident, Page fled the scene and was later located and detained by the Madison County Sheriff’s Office in Mississippi.

Shreveport Police detectives obtained a warrant for unauthorized use of a motor vehicle related to Page’s
flight from the scene. On July 14, Shreveport detectives traveled to Madison County, conducted an interview with Page, and gathered enough evidence to charge him with one count of Second Degree Murder.

This case is a heartbreaking reminder of how domestic violence continues to devastate families and
communities. Chief Wayne Smith expressed his deep appreciation for the swift and diligent efforts of all
officers and detectives involved in bringing closure to this tragic case.

“This is yet another example of how domestic violence reaches into the core of our community,” said Chief Smith. “I’m proud of the professionalism and persistence shown by our team in resolving this case so quickly.”
