Jonathan Bellot, 40, was found fatally shot in the head in the 400 block of Ockley Drive in Shreveport, Louisiana, in the early morning hours of October 7, 2021. Officers responded shortly after 4:40 a.m.; Bellot was pronounced dead at the scene by the Shreveport Fire Department.

As officers arrived, they saw a male fleeing the area. A Shreveport Police K9 unit pursued and apprehended that individual, later identified as Marshall Adkins. Investigators from the Violent Crimes and Crime Scene units interviewed witnesses and collected evidence, and an arrest warrant was obtained for Adkins. He was charged with one count of Second-Degree Murder and booked into the Shreveport City Jail.

Bellot’s family and community are left with the loss from that October morning; public details describe the arrest and charge but not the outcome of the case. If anyone has information about Bellot, the events on Ockley Drive that morning, or witnessed activity in the area, please come forward.
