The quiet atmosphere of a neighborhood in Geismar was shattered by the sharp, terrifying sound of gunfire on the afternoon of Saturday, June 20. The tragic incident, which unfolded at a residence on Kerry Road, has left the local community reeling as a woman was found dead at the scene, having succumbed to multiple gunshot wounds.
The Sequence of Events
At approximately 3:00 p.m., the Ascension Parish Sheriff’s Office received urgent emergency calls regarding a shooting. Despite the rapid response from deputies, they arrived to find a scene of heartbreak: an adult woman had already passed away, her life stolen by a barrage of gunfire. The case was immediately escalated to the Violent Crimes Unit, which has since been working tirelessly to piece together the events of that fateful afternoon.
The Fugitive at Large
Following an intensive investigation, detectives have identified 21-year-old Marquell Green as the primary suspect. According to the official statement from Sheriff Bobby Webre, an arrest warrant has been issued for Green, charging him with second-degree murder. However, a deeply concerning development has emerged: Green managed to flee the vicinity before law enforcement arrived. He remains at large, and a massive manhunt is currently underway to track down the fugitive.
