On January 14, 2024, 13-month-old Kaylee Forcell and her 41-year-old mother, Christina Lynn Artus, were found shot to death inside their residence at the Oak Village trailer park in Gonzales, Louisiana. Ascension Parish deputies arrived about 5:30 p.m. and determined both victims had been shot at close range. Kaylee was described as a bright little girl who loved music and dancing.

Neighbors reported seeing Kaylee’s father, 39-year-old Kalvin Forcell of Donaldsonville, fleeing the home that night. He was later apprehended after allegedly abandoning his vehicle, attempting to steal another car and being subdued by the would-be carjacking victim until deputies arrived. He was arrested and questioned.

Prosecutors charged Kalvin Forcell with two counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of Kaylee and Christina, plus multiple related offenses including simple burglary of a vehicle, unauthorized entry of an inhabited dwelling, theft of a motor vehicle over $25,000, illegal use of weapons, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

Does anyone have reliable information about Kaylee or the family that could help investigators or add context to the case?
