Shreveport Police officers responded to a report of a stolen firearm on May 2 at a local residence. The victim advised officers that an individual he knew as Lannon Ford had taken a handgun from the home without permission.

 

During the investigation, officers obtained security footage that reportedly showed Ford in possession of the firearm. On May 6, investigators made contact with additional witnesses and gathered further information confirming that Ford had stolen the weapon from the residence.

 

As a result of the investigation, Lannon Ford has now been charged with one count of Theft of a Firearm.

 

At the time of this offense, Ford was already being held at the Caddo Correctional Center after his bond had recently been revoked in connection with an aggravated assault case.

 

The Shreveport Police Department remains committed to aggressively investigating firearm-related crimes and holding offenders accountable.
