In the early morning hours of a late April day in Arnaudville, Louisiana, a discovery was made that would forever alter the lives of a local family. On April 23, 2018, the St. Martin Parish Sheriff's Office received a report of a vehicle that had gone into a ditch in the 1300 block of Orphe Guidry Road. Inside the vehicle, authorities would find the body of 23-year-old Blake Narcisse.
The young man had been shot multiple times.
Blake Narcisse, a resident of Lafayette, Louisiana at the time of his death, was a 2013 graduate of Cecilia High School. His life was cut short in an act of violence that has left many questions unanswered. The investigation into his death was immediately classified as a homicide, and the St. Martin Parish Sheriff's Office began the arduous task of piecing together the events that led to his tragic end.
Despite the passage of time, the case of Blake Narcisse's murder remains unsolved. Law enforcement officials have continued to appeal to the public for any information that might lead to a breakthrough in the investigation. As of early 2026, no arrests have been made, and no suspects have been publicly identified. The case is now considered a cold case, a painful reality for a family still seeking justice for the loss of their loved one. The community is left to wonder who is responsible for the violent death of the young man found in his car on that spring morning.
