In the quiet community of Keithville, Louisiana, just outside of Shreveport, Eric L. Cox, a 54-year-old man, was fatally shot on June 18, 2017. His death, which occurred on Father's Day, was part of a double homicide that also claimed the life of 39-year-old Tara Wren.
The investigation into the deaths of Cox and Wren quickly led authorities to identify a suspect.
However, the pursuit of this individual came to a tragic end when the suspect was found deceased in East Texas from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. This development concluded the search for the person believed to be responsible for the two slayings in the Shreveport area.
Eric Cox was known as a welder, master carpenter, and the owner of Tiger Construction Company. His obituary describes him as the heart of his family. He was survived by his father, son, and grandchildren, among other relatives. The news of his violent death sent ripples through the community, leaving friends and family to mourn the sudden and tragic loss.
