Shreveport – Two men, Aron Tolliver and Lajonathan Hall, have been arrested in Shreveport on multiple charges related to sex crimes, as part of an ongoing police effort to address sexual offenses in the community.
Aron Tolliver, a suspect in a serious sexual assault case involving a juvenile, was taken into custody recently in Dallas, Texas. He has been charged with two counts of first-degree rape stemming from an incident on January 13, which occurred in the 700 block of Navajo Trail shortly after 3 p.m. The victim in this case is a child under the age of 13. Due to the age of the victim, if convicted, Tolliver could face a life sentence or potentially the death penalty, given the severity of the charges and his criminal history, which includes previous sexual assault allegations.
In a separate case, Lajonathan Hall, aged 39, was arrested on February 21 after a thorough investigation that commenced in November 2024. He is charged with one count of second-degree rape, a classification of sexual offense that involves non-consensual sexual intercourse under specific circumstances. If convicted, Hall could be sentenced to up to 40 years in prison.
The arrests of Tolliver and Hall are part of a broader initiative by the Shreveport Police Department to enhance community safety by holding sexual offenders accountable. The police are taking a hard stance against sex-related crimes, which include not only sexual assaults but also prostitution and human trafficking. Recently, the department’s Vice Unit apprehended six individuals as part of their ongoing efforts to disrupt networks involved in such illicit activities.
In addition to these arrests, a warrant has been issued for Lavario Lane, a Tier 1 sex offender, who is currently wanted for failing to register as a sex offender. Lane has a history of similar offenses, with three prior convictions for not complying with registration requirements, as he was previously convicted for indecent behavior involving juveniles.
The Shreveport Police Department is intensifying their focus on enforcing laws designed to protect vulnerable members of the community and to prevent sexual offenses from occurring. They are actively encouraging residents to report any information that could aid in their investigations or assist in preventing human trafficking and other related crimes. The department has made clear that community tips are invaluable to ensure public safety and to track down offenders.
Sex-related crimes like those recently highlighted can often be linked to broader issues, such as drug trafficking and violence, underlining the necessity of police efforts to address not only individual incidents but also the networks that facilitate such activities. The ongoing arrests and investigations reflect a concerted effort by law enforcement to curb these serious offenses and protect the community from potential harm.
The involvement of community members is critical in this fight against sexual offenses. The Shreveport Police Department urges anyone with information concerning possible human trafficking or any other sex-related crimes to reach out either via direct contact with the department or through Crime Stoppers.
The commitment from law enforcement to tackle these complex and troubling issues will continue, as they remain dedicated to fostering a sense of safety within Shreveport and ensuring justice for victims.
