CROWLEY – A man is being held on second-degree murder charges following the death of his girlfriend.

Latosha Johnson, 26, of Crowley was found dead in her West Fourth Street residence Tuesday morning.

Her mother reported her missing after not hearing from her since Saturday evening. Officers worked with the family trying to locate her.

The family was concerned as Johnson and her live-in boyfriend had a domestic dispute late Saturday/early Sunday morning, police said.

Family members entered her residence on Tuesday morning and discovered her to be concealed under bedroom furniture, authorities said.

Family members had previously checked the residence, but did not locate her due to the concealment.

“The victim was stabbed, however the corner’s office will have an autopsy completed to determine the cause of death,” said Chief K.P. Gibson.

Larry Jackson, 22, of Crowley was located at a family member's home in Lafayetee.

Evidence obtained during the investigation led to Jackson being arrested on an arrest warrant for second degree murder. Bond has been set at $750,000.
