Rochelle Lewis, 48, was shot to death at her home on Spring Drive in Haynesville, Louisiana, on the evening of July 1, 2025. Her two teenage children, ages 13 and 15, placed the 911 call saying their father had shot their mother; Rochelle was found unresponsive and pronounced dead at the scene from multiple gunshot wounds.

Her estranged husband, 44-year-old Shamarcus Lewis, had an active restraining order against him stemming from a November 2024 incident in which he allegedly rammed Rochelle’s car with the children inside. He had been arrested on charges including domestic abuse, aggravated assault, and child endangerment and was wearing an ankle monitor as a condition of release at the time of the killing.

After the shooting Shamarcus fled, fleeing south on U.S. Highway 79 and onto Interstate 20. A multi-agency pursuit ended in Webster Parish when spike strips disabled his vehicle; a roughly 10-minute standoff followed and he then shot himself in the head. He was taken to a Shreveport hospital in critical condition.

If anyone knew Rochelle or has information about the events that night, please share what you know with investigators.
