SHREVEPORT - Authorities in Shreveport are searching for a suspect tied to the brutal slaying of three people, one of whom was a 12-year-old child. 

Local news outlet, KTBS reports that the bodies were discovered Thursday morning in the 400 block of W. 82nd Street near Linwood Avenue.

A woman happened to find the deceased victims when she went to the home to check on a family member. The woman said it was around 2 a.m. and the back door was open. She walked into the house and saw the bodies of a man, a woman, and a child.
