NATCHEZ — The man suspected of committing three murders is still on the loose, officials said.

As of Monday night, Tyrone Lacaze, 21, had not been apprehended, Adams County Sheriff Ronny Brown said.

Lacaze is wanted on a warrant by both the Adams County Sheriff’s Office and the U.S. Marshals in connection with the Oct. 22 death of Ronald “Bo Diddly” Jones.

Jones died after being shot at more than 30 times in the parking lot of the Village Square Apartments.

No motive has been established in the shooting yet, Brown said.

ACSO officials have said in recent days Lacaze has been seen in the area of Martin Luther King Jr. Road.

It is suspected he may be staying in the Ferriday area, and authorities have said Lacaze should be considered armed and dangerous.

One arrest has been made in connection with Jones’ death.

Antwine King, 18, was arrested as an accessory after the fact to the murder when authorities found she was the driver of the Ford Taurus that was reportedly used in the murder.

She was arraigned Friday and is being detained on a $200,000 bond.

Lacaze is also wanted in connection with two murders in the Houston area.

Authorities in Houston allege he killed a man there and then murdered a 16-year-old witness.

According to authorities, Lacaze stands at approximately 5’10” and weighs approximately 140 pounds.

He has several facial tattoos, a teardrop under each eye and either a skull or a bull’s eye on his face, as well as another tattoo between his eyes.

Lacaze has gold teeth and was last known to wear his hair in dreadlocks.

Anyone with information about Lacaze or his whereabouts should contact the ACSO or Crime Stoppers at 601-442-5000.
