Shreveport Police identify deceased man
Shreveport Police detectives have identified a man whose decapitated body was located yesterday morning along the railroad tracks north of the 3300 block of Sun Valley.
Detective Jeff Brown has identified the deceased man as Raymundo Lewis, age unknown, who was from New Mexico. Detective Brown discovered that Lewis was in Shreveport working at The State Fair with his mother. Lewis’ mother advised detectives that her son has had a history of emotional disorders and that he left the Fairgrounds late Sunday night in an agitated state.
At this time detectives believe Lewis’ death is a suicide, but the investigation is ongoing pending an autopsy report from The Caddo Parish Coroner’s Office.
