Shreveport, La — A former Dollar General employee has been arrested in connection with an armed robbery that occurred at the store on Line Avenue in Shreveport on February 25, 2025.
At approximately 8:00 PM, officers responded to reports of a robbery at the store, where a suspect, armed with a sawed-off shotgun, demanded cash and fled the scene.
Detectives soon linked the crime to Marquita Marshall, a former employee, after reviewing surveillance footage and noticing physical similarities, including her height and walk.
On March 4, 2025, police executed a search warrant at Marshall’s residence on Rainbow Drive and arrested her without incident. Items of evidentiary value related to the robbery were recovered during the search.
Marshall, now facing First-Degree Robbery charges, could face up to 40 years in prison if convicted.
The Shreveport Police Department remains dedicated to ensuring public safety and holding offenders accountable.
