Leon Shawn Turner, 44, was fatally shot in an ambush-style attack in Jena, Louisiana on October 24, 2020. According to investigators, Turner was working under the hood of his car when several gunmen opened fire; he suffered two gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene.

The LaSalle Parish Sheriff’s Office opened a homicide investigation. Eyewitnesses described a person about 5 feet 10 inches tall wearing a camouflage pullover and black pants running from the area, but that lead has not produced an arrest. A $5,000 cash reward is being offered for information that leads to arrest and conviction.

Turner’s family continues to seek answers; his daughter Jayda, then 16, has urged the perpetrators to come forward. Does anyone in Jena have information about who was seen near Turner that evening?
