SHREVEPORT, LA — The Shreveport Police Department (SPD) is actively searching for 49-year-old Montrell Jackson, who is wanted on a felony warrant for Carnal Knowledge of a Juvenile, following a disturbing investigation that has shocked the local community.
Investigation Timeline
The case began after police made contact with a young victim who was later interviewed at a child advocacy center. During the forensic interview, the victim bravely disclosed that she had been involved in a sexual relationship with Montrell Jackson, a relationship she stated began when she was just 14 years old.
The victim further revealed that Jackson is the biological father of her now two-year-old child, providing crucial information that helped substantiate the allegations against him.
Following the disclosures and a detailed investigation by detectives, the Shreveport Police secured a felony arrest warrant for Jackson.
Charges and Legal Context
Jackson faces a charge of Felony Carnal Knowledge of a Juvenile, a serious offense under Louisiana law. This charge applies when an adult engages in sexual activity with a minor who is under the age of legal consent, even if the encounter is presented as consensual. The law exists to safeguard minors from exploitation and abuse by individuals significantly older, especially when there is an imbalance of power or influence.
Authorities have not ruled out the possibility of additional charges as the investigation continues.
Ongoing Search and Public Appeal
Montrell Jackson’s current whereabouts are unknown, and he is considered at large. The SPD is asking for the public’s help in locating him and urges anyone with information to come forward.
If you have any knowledge of Jackson’s location, you are asked to contact:
- Shreveport Police Department: (318) 673-7300
- Caddo Crime Stoppers: (318) 673-7373
Tipsters may remain anonymous, and any information, no matter how small it may seem, could play a critical role in apprehending the suspect.
Community Impact and Support
The allegations have triggered strong reactions within the community, sparking discussions about child safety, abuse prevention, and the importance of supporting survivors. Local organizations and advocacy groups have expressed their solidarity with the victim and praised her courage for speaking out.
“This case is heartbreaking, but it also shows the strength of survivors who are brave enough to come forward,” said a representative from a local youth advocacy center. “We encourage anyone else who may have experienced similar abuse to speak up. You are not alone.”
Authorities are ensuring that the victim continues to receive supportive services, including counseling and access to protective resources. Law enforcement officials have emphasized that her safety and well-being remain a top priority.
What Happens Next
Once apprehended, Jackson will face formal charges and court proceedings. Given the nature of the case, prosecutors are expected to pursue the matter with the full weight of the law. The judicial process will likely include DNA testing, further interviews, and examination of any potential digital or physical evidence.
SPD’s Multidisciplinary Team is continuing to work closely with victim services, forensic experts, and state agencies to build a strong case and ensure that justice is pursued in full.
