DALLAS, TX. (KTVE/KARD)— According to authorities with the Monroe Police Department, Harry J. West, wanted by the Monroe Police Department for Second-Degree Murder, was taken into custody without incident in Arlington, TX. Monroe Police Department officials say they extend their gratitude to the United States Marshals Service North Texas Violent Offender Task Force for their assistance with this arrest.
According to officials from the Monroe Police Department, efforts are currently underway to bring West back to Ouachita Parish, where he will face charges of Second-Degree Murder and Terrorizing. These charges stem from a deadly shooting that occurred at a local club on the 500 block of Desiard Street in Monroe, Louisiana, in the early morning hours of Sunday, June 21, 2026. Court documents indicate that West was acquitted in 2025 of a murder case dating back to 2023.
