Public Safety Alert: Shreveport Police Seek Dangerous Sex Offender

The Shreveport Police Department is actively seeking Kevin Ashley, a wanted sex offender. A warrant has been issued for Ashley's arrest due to his failure to register as a sex offender. As a Tier 3 offender under Louisiana law, Ashley is required to register for life. He has two prior convictions for non-compliance with these registration mandates.

In Louisiana, Tier 3 sex offenders are those convicted of the most serious sex offenses and are considered at high risk of re-offending. These offenses typically involve violence or harm to victims, including rape, human trafficking, and aggravated incest. Tier 3 offenders are required to register as sex offenders for the rest of their lives.

Tier 3 offenders are deemed to pose a high risk to public safety due to the nature and severity of their offenses.

Anyone with information regarding Kevin Ashley's whereabouts should contact the Shreveport Police Department at 318-673-7300. To remain anonymous, individuals can reach Caddo Crime Stoppers at 318-673-7373 or submit tips via the P3 app.
