Man Who Escaped a Deputy at a Shreveport Hospital Is Indicted for a Violent Carjacking
Prosecutors say Tre'veon Jackson beat a man outside a Bossier City hotel and took his car after escaping custody on Sept. 14, 2026.
A Shreveport man who slipped away from a sheriff’s deputy outside a hospital in September 2026 has been indicted on a federal charge of carjacking a man in Bossier City shortly after his escape.
A federal grand jury returned the indictment against Tre’veon Jackson, 24, on Oct. 7, 2026, charging him with carjacking resulting in serious bodily injury, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Louisiana said. The charge carries up to 25 years in federal prison. The case number is 5:26-cr-00399. The allegations have not been proven in court.
The escape
Jackson escaped from a Caddo Parish Sheriff’s Office deputy outside Ochsner LSU Health Shreveport around 10:15 p.m. on Sept. 14, 2026, after being taken there for a medical evaluation, KSLA reported, citing the sheriff’s office. The federal prosecutors’ release says only that he escaped “during a medical transport.”
Shortly afterward, Jackson approached a man outside a hotel in Bossier City, violently assaulted him and took his vehicle, according to court documents described by the U.S. Attorney’s Office. Prosecutors say he then led officers on a chase at speeds over 110 mph before crashing the vehicle and running away on foot.
The release does not name the hotel or describe the victim’s injuries.
Several days on the run
Local, state and federal agencies worked together to find him, KSLA reported. Jackson was at large for several days before the U.S. Marshals Service arrested him in Marshall, Texas, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
Caddo Parish Sheriff Henry Whitehorn Sr. announced the capture on Sept. 22, 2026, and Jackson was then held at the Harrison County Jail in Texas on federal charges, KSLA reported. He was in federal custody when the U.S. Attorney’s Office announced the indictment on Oct. 16, 2026.
Why he was in custody
KSLA has reported that Jackson was the man accused of murdering Horace Sparks in Shreveport, and that Sparks’ family demanded answers about the escape and about why they were not properly notified. That murder case is separate from the federal carjacking charge, and the murder accusation has not been proven in court.
The FBI, the U.S. Marshals Service, the Bossier City Police Department, the Marshall Police Department, the Harrison County Sheriff’s Office, the Texas State Technical College Police Department and the Texas Rangers investigated the carjacking. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Allison Foster and Samuel Crichton are prosecuting it.
The case is part of the Western District of Louisiana’s GATOR Task Force, a multi-agency effort aimed at violent crime in the Shreveport and Bossier City area, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
