SHREVEPORT, LA-   Shreveport Police are asking for your help finding a man wanted for molestation of a juvenile

In August of 2023, the Shreveport Police Special Victims Unit began an investigation into a complaint of a ten-year-old juvenile being sexually assaulted by an adult male. Detectives investigated a reported sexual assault on the juvenile by Mathew Philyaw (02/16/94).

After further investigation into this incident, detectives obtained an arrest warrant for Philyaw for one count of Molestation of a Juvenile. Philyaw is still outstanding currently. The Shreveport Police Department is asking for assistance from the public to locate this suspect.

If you have any information about Philyaw's location, you're asked to contact Crime Stoppers at 318 673- 7373.  Anyone with information who wants to remain anonymous and be eligible for a cash reward is asked to log onto www.p3tips.com to submit your tip via the web. For a secure and password-protected mobile app for your smart device, go to the App Store and download the free "P3tips" mobile app. No caller ID, no recorded lines, no tracking cookies, no saved IP address.

When using the free downloadable P3 Tips mobile app OR the www.p3tips.com website, both feature very unique integrated Two-Way Dialog capabilities which allow the tipster to come back and provide additional information to their tip at any time. It also provides a secure means for the coordinator to ask the tipster questions pertaining to a provided tip (this is important for the tipster to know because some tips leave detectives requesting further information from the coordinator that only the tipster could provide).

Another reason to use the P3 mobile app or www.p3tips.com website is so that reward information can be given back to the tipster upon request through the same secure and encrypted interface.
