The Rapides Parish Sheriff’s Office is asking for the public’s help after an armed home invasion was reported Friday afternoon in the 1800 block of Henry Avenue, just off North Bolton (LA 1 North).

At approximately 2:20 p.m. on November 21, 2025, patrol deputies responded to what was initially reported as a burglary in progress. When they arrived, deputies spoke with the victim, who said a Black male—dressed in all black, wearing white shoes and a pink face mask—entered the residence armed with a firearm. The suspect allegedly threatened a resident inside the home and stole several items, including another firearm.

According to witnesses, the suspect left the residence and got into a black, newer-model Honda Accord parked along the roadway. The vehicle was last seen heading toward North Bolton Avenue. Witnesses also reported that 2–3 additional individuals may have been inside the vehicle at the time of the incident.

Deputies recovered an image of both the suspect and the suspect vehicle. The vehicle’s license plate appears to end in either “JED” or “JEO.”

Sheriff’s Detectives and the Crime Scene Unit processed the scene and continue to investigate.

Anyone with information about the suspect, additional occupants, or the vehicle involved is urged to contact the RPSO Main Office at 318-473-6700 or Crime Stoppers at 318-443-7867. All tips may remain confidential.
