Laquintina Qualls, 24, of Rayville, Louisiana, was found dead inside a Shell gas station bathroom on LA-546 near Interstate 20 in West Monroe on August 22, 2016. Deputies responded to reports of gunfire after family or coworkers received a call indicating she was being held at gunpoint in her car. Qualls was pronounced dead at the scene; an autopsy determined she died of three gunshot wounds to the head, two to the back of the head and one above the left eyebrow, described as a close-range, execution-style killing. Witnesses said the suspect fled west on I-20.

Law enforcement later stopped a vehicle on I-20 in neighboring Lincoln Parish. The suspect, identified as 29-year-old Isaac T. Gee of Rayville, abandoned the vehicle and fled on foot through a brickyard and wooded area before being taken into custody. He was charged with second-degree murder and indicted on October 14, 2016. Did anyone in the area see the events at the gas station or notice the vehicle leaving on I-20 that afternoon?
