On April 23, 2018, a vehicle was found in a ditch on the 1300 block of Orphe Guidry Road in Arnaudville, Louisiana. Inside was 23-year-old Blake Narcisse of Lafayette, who had been shot multiple times. The death was classified as a homicide by the St. Martin Parish Sheriff’s Office.

Narcisse, a 2013 graduate of Cecilia High School, was found in the early morning hours. Investigators opened an immediate homicide investigation, but no arrest or publicly identified suspect had been announced by early 2026 and the case has been treated as a cold case.

Who in the community might have information about Blake’s movements or contacts in the days before April 23, 2018?
