Shreveport, LA – A Shreveport man has been arrested and charged with second-degree murder in connection with the fatal stabbing of his mother, an incident police describe as a tragic case of domestic violence.
On July 12, Shreveport Police officers responded to a home on Dallas Street, where 63-year-old Debbie Jones was found dead from multiple stab wounds. Investigators quickly identified her son, 33-year-old Jacoby Page, as the suspect in the attack.
According to the Shreveport Police Department, detectives acted swiftly to locate and arrest Page, who now faces charges of second-degree murder.
Authorities say the case underscores the growing threat of domestic violence in the community.
“Domestic violence is not a private matter—it is a public crisis,” the department stated in a release. “It destroys families, rips apart communities, and too often ends in tragedy.”
Police Chief Wayne Smith commended the work of officers and detectives for their rapid and professional response.
Officials encourage anyone experiencing abuse or concerned for someone else’s safety to seek help immediately. Resources and support are available to those in need.
