On Feb. 4, Shreveport City Marshals assisted the Red River Parish Sheriff’s Office (RRPSO) detectives in locating and apprehending Johnathan D. Russell at a residence in Caddo Parish. Russell was arrested on an active RRPSO warrant for Attempted Second-degree murder, Obstruction of justice, Illegal use of weapons or dangerous instrumentalities and Possession of a firearm or carrying concealed weapon by a felon.
The warrant stemmed from Russell’s involvement in an Oct. 1 attempted theft in Natchitoches Parish, which led to shots being fired at the intended victim as he pursued the suspect’s vehicle and its three occupants into Red River Parish.
