Shreveport Police are actively searching for Tequilla Sellers, a woman accused of committing shoplifting and other related offenses in Caddo Parish, Louisiana. According to law enforcement reports, the incident occurred on October 5, 2026, at a Walmart located on Shreveport Barksdale Highway. Sellers is alleged to have attempted to leave the store with merchandise valued at more than $1,000, utilizing a fake receipt to conceal the theft. Authorities note that this is not an isolated incident for the suspect; Sellers has previously been banned from the same establishment for similar actions and was arrested in May for a separate shoplifting offense. A warrant for her arrest has been active since earlier this year due to her failure to appear for a scheduled court hearing related to the May incident. The current charges against Sellers include Theft as a Habitual Offender, Criminal Trespass, and Contributing to the Delinquency of a Minor. Investigators highlighted the disturbing nature of the alleged crime, noting that Sellers brought her nine-year-old daughter to the store during the incident and allowed the child to walk out with unpaid merchandise. In a public statement, Shreveport Police emphasized the inappropriate role placed on the child, stating that children deserve positive examples rather than involvement in criminal activity. The investigating agency is urging the public to remain vigilant and to contact them with any information regarding Sellers' whereabouts. Police are treating the suspect as at-large and continue to seek her apprehension to resolve the outstanding warrants and address the current allegations. Residents are advised to report any sightings of Tequilla Sellers to the Shreveport Police Department immediately.
