Gennieve ’Jean’ Thompson Ashworth, 74, was found inside her Glenmora, Louisiana, home after deputies forced entry the morning of July 5, 2014, following a report of a person wounded by gunfire. Deputies were sent after a man identified as Rodney Thompson, 52, of Pitkin, walked into the Oakdale Police Department and reported that a shooting had occurred. Investigators located an elderly female inside the residence suffering from a gunshot wound; she died in the days immediately following the incident and the case was treated as a homicide.

Rapides Parish officials publicly identified Rodney Thompson as the person who was arrested; his charges were upgraded to first-degree murder and he was held at the Rapides Parish Detention Center without bond while the investigation continued. Few additional details were released at the time. If anyone knew Gennieve Ashworth, her movements that morning, or has information about the people who frequented that address, please come forward.
