Shreveport police are hoping the public will lead them to the whereabouts of a man wanted for breaking into an elderly couple’s home on East Jordan Street.
Joe Edward Murphy, 42, address unknown, is wanted for aggravated burglary. He allegedly broke into the home in the 200 block of East Jordan on May 5. Both victims are 82 years old.
The incident occurred about 11:15 p.m. when the husband heard a window break and went to inspect the noise. In the kitchen, he encountered two black males.
Although the suspects went through the house, they left without taking anything.
If anyone has information about Murphy or the second suspect, call the detective’s office at 673-6955 or Crime Stoppers at 673-7000.
