Nicholas Roath was 26 when he was fatally shot on August 14, 2020, during an altercation in Webster Parish near Shongaloo, Louisiana. Born November 8, 1993, in Minden, he worked for UOP Honeywell and was described as an avid outdoorsman who enjoyed fishing, hunting, grilling, camping and canoeing. He was a devoted father and enjoyed gaming, especially Call of Duty.

His parents have spoken publicly about their frustration with the slow pace of the investigation and the lack of arrests reported so far. The shooting remains an open, unresolved loss for family and friends who remember him for his love of his daughter and for life in rural Louisiana.

If anyone knew Nicholas, saw activity in the Shongaloo or Webster Parish area around August 14, 2020, or has information that could help, please come forward.
