MONROE, La. — The Monroe Police Department has launched an investigation into a tragic triple homicide that occurred in the early morning hours of October 28 in the 2000 block of Grammont Street.
Authorities confirmed that the victims have been identified as 26-year-old Jaborris Simpson, his 2-year-old daughter, Jhersi Simpson, and another adult male, Jamal Bosley.
All three were found deceased at the scene, each suffering from gunshot wounds to the head.
During a press conference held later that day, Monroe Police officials stated that narcotics are believed to have been a contributing factor in the crime.
Investigators also confirmed that the suspect and victims were known to one another, suggesting the incident was not a random act of violence.
Monroe Mayor Friday Ellis and law enforcement leaders expressed their condolences to the victims’ families and the community, calling the deaths—particularly that of the young child—heartbreaking and deeply disturbing.
Mayor Ellis also announced a $5,000 reward for any information that leads to an arrest in the case.
“This is a tragedy that has shaken our city,” Ellis said. “We are asking the public to stand with us, share any information they may have, and help bring justice to this family.”
The Monroe Police Department continues to actively investigate the case, with detectives reviewing evidence and interviewing potential witnesses.
Anyone with information regarding this incident is urged to contact the Monroe Police Department or Crime Stoppers of North Delta.
Callers may remain anonymous and could be eligible for the $5,000 reward.
