On the night of March 15, 2019, 31-year-old Caleb Pippenger was found by family members lying in the front yard of his Benton, Louisiana, home on Post Oak Drive with a fatal gunshot wound. Family had gathered at the residence earlier that evening; two days before his death Pippenger had been granted custody of his son.

The investigation led to multiple arrests over the following months. In May 2019 detectives arrested 29-year-old Justin C. Sepulvado of Bossier City. In June 2019 26-year-old Alisa Lochabay of Shreveport was arrested as a principal to the murder. In July 2019 investigators arrested 29-year-old Shawna M. Jones of Shreveport, the mother of Pippenger’s child, on a fugitive warrant and charged her as Principal to Second Degree Murder; her arrest followed an earlier drug arrest that had preceded Pippenger obtaining custody of the child.

The sheriff’s office continued the investigation after those arrests. If anyone knew Caleb, his movements that night, or has information about people who were at the Post Oak Drive gathering, please share what is known.
