A chilling discovery in Lake Charles, Louisiana, has left a community searching for answers after the bodies of two women were found inside a home. Police are investigating the case as a suspected murder-suicide, with new developments shedding light on the tragic events.
The Calcasieu Parish Sheriff’s Office responded to a report of a hostage situation at a Topsy Road residence around 8:00 p.m. Upon arrival, deputies heard a gunshot, prompting the activation of the Sheriff’s Office ACT-Team to secure the scene. Inside the home, they found the bodies of Dahlen Semar, 23, and Madison Guillory, 23, both residents of Lake Charles.
As detectives continue to piece together the circumstances leading up to the tragedy, it was revealed that the initial complaint was made by Gabriel B. Williams, 24, also of Lake Charles. According to police, Williams provided false and misleading information during the investigation. Additionally, he is accused of attempting to destroy evidence connected to the case, told USA Today.
Sheriff Stitch Guillory commented on Williams’ involvement, stating, “We were able to recover some evidence from our complainant that let us know that he knew a little bit more than what he was letting on to as to what transpired inside the residence.” While Williams has been arrested for obstruction of justice and failing to report certain felonies, authorities have ruled him out as a suspect in the shooting itself.
Williams is currently being held at the Calcasieu Correctional Center, awaiting bond. Meanwhile, the investigation remains ongoing as detectives work to uncover the full story behind this devastating incident.
Sheriff Guillory emphasized the importance of seeking help in challenging times, reminding the community, “We believe this is an isolated incident. I want to take this time to remind everyone in our community that help is available for those who may be experiencing hard times. If you or someone you know is struggling, please reach out for support.”
The Sheriff’s Office directed anyone in need to contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline by texting or calling 988, reinforcing the critical need for accessible resources in moments of crisis. As the investigation continues, the tragedy has left the community grappling with grief and searching for ways to support one another in the face of such profound loss.
