Archived as originally published. Information reflects the date of this article.

Shreveport police have issued an arrest warrant for a Shreveport man wanted for carjacking, cutting and stabbing another man Monday night. Jacob H. Boykin, 27, is wanted for second-degree robbery. Police accuse Boykin of carjacking a man who was giving him a ride. Boykin allegedly forced the driver from his vehicle at the intersection of Fairfield and Olive then drove away. In a news release, police said the driver was stabbed in the neck. However, a family member told KTBS the victim had his throat cut and her was stabbed three times in the abdomen. And while police describe the victim's injuries as non-life threatening, the victim's brother said otherwise. "If not for help from others to get him back to his house 2 blocks away, Shreveport EMS & the medical staff at Oschners then I would have lost my brother," the victims brother said in an email. The victim's car, a Toyota Camry with Louisiana license plate number 891ACC, has not been recovered. Anyone with information on Boykin's whereabouts, is asked to call Shreveport Police at 318-673-7300 ext. 3. To supply information anonymously, call Caddo Crime Stoppers at 318-673-7373
