Baton Rouge police are seeking information about Floyd Thibodeaux, 23, who is wanted in connection with a second-degree murder case and an illegal-use-of-weapons charge.

As WBRZ reported, Baton Rouge police asked the public to help locate Thibodeaux. The department’s number for information about his whereabouts is 225-334-7867.

Crime Stoppers and the Baton Rouge Police Department identify Thibodeaux, 23, as wanted on charges of second-degree murder and illegal use of weapons or dangerous instrumentalities, per WAFB's report. The outlet also describes Thibodeaux as 6 feet tall and about 140 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes, details that could help anyone who spots him recognize the suspect.

How to Submit a Tip

Capital Region Crime Stoppers lists its hotline as 225-344-STOP (7867) and says its online WebTip process is anonymous. Its website lists the hotline; the Baton Rouge Police Department number reported above is a separate direct-contact option.

How to Submit a Tip

Those with information can also go through Crime Stoppers, which accepts anonymous tips by calling 344-STOP (7867), submitting a tip online, or using the P3 Tips app, the same report notes. The two tip lines — the police department's number and the Crime Stoppers channel — give residents more than one way to pass along information without having to identify themselves.

A search-result snippet from the Advocate, dated December 5, 2024, indicated that a Floyd Thibodeaux, then 22, faced a second-degree murder charge at that time, though the full article behind that snippet was not available for review. It is not clear from the available reporting how that earlier reference relates to the current search for Thibodeaux.

The latest reporting cited here said Thibodeaux had not been located.
