In the early morning hours of November 4, 2021, 12-year-old Xavier Perry was found shot to death in a Cedar Grove home in Shreveport, Louisiana, alongside his mother, 28-year-old Adriana Perry Rigsby, and his uncle, 18-year-old Joshua Perry. Authorities determined all three deaths were homicides. Investigators focused on Adriana’s husband and Xavier’s stepfather, Barry Rigsby, who had fled the scene. A few hours later his vehicle was found about 150 miles away, parked near an apartment complex in Wisner, Louisiana.

Franklin Parish deputies began evacuating the complex; Rigsby opened fire from one of the apartments. Louisiana State Police assisted in clearing units and encountered the armed suspect. In the ensuing confrontation, officers shot and killed Barry Rigsby. The loss of a young child and two relatives in a single incident left the community reeling.

If anyone knew Xavier, his family, or saw activity around the Cedar Grove home or the Wisner apartment complex that morning, please share what was seen.
