SHREVEPORT, La. – Caddo Parish Sheriff’s Office announced Monday that Mikhala Duncan has been taken into custody on a charge of accessory to simple escape. Investigators say Duncan knowingly met with Tre’Veon Jackson, a fugitive who fled custody during a medical transport on Sept. 14, at least twice while he was on the run in Texas.

Details of the alleged meetings

According to the sheriff’s release, Jackson contacted Duncan after his escape, and she agreed to meet him. Detectives say the first encounter occurred sometime after Sept. 14, and a second meeting took place on Sept. 22 – the night Jackson was captured in Marshall, Texas. During that final meeting, Duncan reportedly brought their child to spend time with Jackson, a detail that underscores the personal nature of the alleged assistance.

Law enforcement response

Caddo sheriff’s detectives, working with Texas authorities, arrested Duncan on Monday after confirming the two meetings. In statements to the media, investigators noted that Duncan admitted she knew Jackson had escaped when he reached out to her and that she later met with him in Texas. The sheriff’s office emphasized that the investigation remains ongoing and that additional charges could be considered as more information emerges.

Legal implications

Under Louisiana law, an accessory to simple escape can face a felony charge, potentially resulting in significant prison time if convicted. The charge reflects the seriousness with which law‑enforcement agencies treat any assistance given to individuals who have fled custody, especially when that assistance includes facilitating contact or providing a safe environment.

Community impact

The case has drawn attention in both Caddo Parish and the surrounding Texas communities, highlighting the challenges of cross‑state law‑enforcement cooperation. Local officials stress the importance of public vigilance and cooperation with authorities when individuals attempt to evade the justice system.

Ongoing investigation

Authorities have not released further details about the circumstances of Jackson’s escape or the exact location of Duncan’s arrest. The sheriff’s office indicated that they will continue to work with Texas law‑enforcement partners to fully resolve the case and ensure that any additional individuals who may have aided the fugitive are held accountable.
