Danny Rae Holt, 38, died in Leesville, Louisiana on November 23, 2013. The death was first reported by Holt’s live-in girlfriend as a suicide after a verbal argument, but the Vernon Parish Sheriff’s Office later reclassified the case as an unsolved homicide.

Forensic examination and the autopsy showed Holt was shot in the back of the head at close range. Investigators concluded the wound could not have been self-inflicted based on the position of the entry wound and the relative length of Holt’s arm to the firearm. The girlfriend was the only other person known to be at the residence; law enforcement found her account inconsistent with the physical evidence. She has maintained the death was a suicide, retained an attorney, and stopped cooperating with investigators.

No arrests have been made and the shooter’s identity remains unknown. Does anyone have information about Holt, the scene, or people in his circle that could help move this case forward?
