The Caddo Parish Grand Jury returned five true bills against four Shreveport men in its session that ended December 18, 2025.

Two indictments concern Jon’Darius Tyruse Scott, 25, of Shreveport, who faces trial on a charge of second-degree murder and on a separate but related charge of illegal use of weapons or dangerous instrumentalities. His murder indictment, No. 411315, concerns the July 27, 2025 gunfire slaying of Hailey McDonald. The second indictment concerns the use of a weapon in that slaying. Ms. McDonald, 16, was inside a business in the 1700 block of North Market Street when she was struck by gunfire. She was rushed to Ochsner LSU Health hospital, where she died.

Two indictments for second-degree murder concern the August 3, 2025 death by gunfire of 26-year-old Sherpatrick Washington. Docket No. 411303 charges Lloyd Noland Graggs, 33, in connection with this crime, while Docket No. 411243 charges Dion Lakarl Randle, 54, for his part in this death. Ms. Washington was shot multiple times in the 1000 block of Dalzell Street.

The final indictment, No. 411463, charges Jacobi Chevez Hughes, 30, with second-degree murder in connection with the September 6, 2025 slaying of Kalisia Franklin. A second count with that true bill charges Hughes with battery on a dating partner-child endangerment in connection with that slaying, due to the presence of a six-month-old child at the scene. Ms. Franklin, 27, was killed during an apparent domestic violence incident with Mr. Hughes, her boyfriend.

All the men indicted are currently incarcerated at Caddo Correctional Center.
