Shreveport Police Domestic Violence detectives secured the arrest of a suspect following an investigation into allegations of repeated domestic abuse, strangulation, sexual battery, and violation of a protective order.
During a follow-up interview, the victim reported multiple incidents of abuse, including an October 12, 2026, strangulation witnessed by one of the couple’s children. She also disclosed a separate sexual assault that occurred with another child present.
Investigators determined the suspect allegedly violated a protective order by sending the victim text messages after being served on October 16, 2026.
On November 4, 2026, detectives obtained an arrest warrant charging the suspect Brian Monaco (11/27/1982) with:
Three counts of Domestic Abuse Battery with Child Endangerment
One count of Domestic Abuse Battery by Strangulation
One count of Violation of a Protective Order
One count of Sexual Battery
Members of the Warrants Division located the suspect at his home that same day and took him into custody. He was booked into the Shreveport City Jail.
Outstanding work by our Domestic Violence detectives and Warrants Division in investigating these serious allegations and taking action to protect this family.
