Late on Sunday, June 29, 2025, the body of 23-year-old Kalin Jemel Stevens was found unresponsive on the roadside in the 6700 block of Highway 90 in Lake Charles, Louisiana. First responders were called to a 911 hang-up around 11 p.m.; what was first thought to be a traffic crash was later determined by the Calcasieu Parish Sheriff’s Office to be a homicide after a closer examination showed Stevens had sustained multiple gunshot wounds.

Detectives have identified two suspects in the shooting and obtained warrants for second-degree murder for Larry J. Bigelow, Jr., 22, and Titus T. Tezeno, 22, both from Lake Charles. Investigators say the killing appears tied to an ongoing dispute rather than a random attack. A judge set bond at $1.5 million for each man, and authorities have asked the public for help locating them, warning they should be considered armed and dangerous.

If anyone saw activity along Highway 90 near the 6700 block on the night of June 29, or has information about Stevens, Bigelow or Tezeno, please contact the Calcasieu Parish Sheriff’s Office.
