In September 2020, 26-year-old Joshua Roshell of Shreveport was lured by phone to a vacant house in the 1800 block of Doris Street with an offer to buy marijuana. He was met by three people, forced from his vehicle and robbed at gunpoint. One assailant briefly revealed his face when removing a hoodie. After the robbery, Roshell was shot once in the head; his attackers took his car and it was later found abandoned on Slattery Boulevard. Roshell’s body was located on September 24, 2020.

Investigators arrested 16-year-old Javonpe Deandre Winbush, whose case was transferred from juvenile court to Caddo District Court. Winbush later implicated someone called Ray Ray, but investigators could not corroborate that lead. A co-defendant who said he was not present for the shooting later reported that Winbush had confessed to firing the shot. In March 2023, Winbush pleaded guilty to manslaughter and robbery and received a 35-year sentence running concurrently; the plea was made with the consent of Roshell’s mother. Two other co-defendants were separately indicted and scheduled for trial.

If anyone knew Joshua, his movements that September, or the people who used the vacant house on Doris Street, please share information that could help fill gaps in this case.
