SHREVEPORT, LA — A man wanted in Bienville Parish on six counts of second-degree rape was taken into custody in Shreveport after police and federal marshals found him at a home in the 4900 block of Westwood Park Drive. Officers say Deangelo A. Moore came outside and surrendered last week after the residence was surrounded.

The Facts

What police say

Shreveport police said investigators, working with the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force, tracked Moore to the house on Westwood Park Drive. SPD K-9 units were also part of the operation.

Authorities said officers set up around the residence before Moore came outside. He then surrendered without a physical arrest struggle being described by police.

Police said Moore told officers he did not want to deal with the dogs. The department did not say whether the K-9s were released.

Moore reportedly told officers he wanted no part of the dogs.

The investigation

Cases involving fugitives often depend on locating a suspect quickly, then moving in with multiple units to reduce the chance of escape. Federal and local task forces are commonly used when a person is wanted across parish or county lines.

In this case, police have said only that Moore was found at the Shreveport address and taken into custody. No additional details were released about how long he had been wanted or what led investigators to the home.

When police serve an arrest warrant, they may use surveillance, witness information, database checks, or coordinated team movements to confirm the suspect’s location. Public tips can also play a role, though no tip line was included in the information released here.

What the charges mean

Second-degree rape is a serious felony charge under Louisiana law. A warrant or arrest on multiple counts means authorities believe there are separate incidents or separate criminal acts that support each count.

An arrest is not a conviction. The defendant still has the right to a court process, including being advised of the charges, entering a plea, and challenging the state’s evidence through counsel.

After booking, a person in custody is typically processed through the local jail system and then brought before a court for the next steps. In felony cases, prosecutors then decide how to proceed based on the evidence and any statements, reports, or witness accounts gathered during the investigation.

What happens next

Moore was booked into the Caddo Correctional Center, where he will remain available for court proceedings unless bond or another order changes his custody status.

Further action in the Bienville Parish case would normally move through the parish court system, where prosecutors can present the allegations tied to the six counts and the defense can respond.
