On the morning of Saturday, September 6, 2025, 27-year-old Kalisia Franklin was found dead in a back room of a home on DeSoto Street in Shreveport. The scene showed signs of a violent struggle, and police described the death as stemming from domestic violence that escalated to a fatal outcome.

Investigators identified 30-year-old Jacobi Hughes, Franklin’s boyfriend, as a person of interest. He was at the residence when police arrived, was taken into custody for questioning, and later arrested. Hughes was charged with one count of second-degree murder, one count of domestic abuse battery, and one count of child endangerment, and was booked into the Shreveport City Jail.

The Caddo Parish District Attorney’s office said the homicide unit would review the case for presentation to a grand jury. Records show Hughes had prior arrests for domestic abuse battery and previously pleaded guilty to lesser charges in that matter. Does anyone have information about Franklin, the household, or the events leading up to September 6?
