KSLA reported a Caddo Parish jury convicted Kenavion Marquis Baker of second-degree murder in the killing of Terry Morris.

Wednesday's guilty verdicts are the jury's finding. Nov. 5 is the sentencing date. The mandatory life term and the year ranges are what he faces. A nine-person jury and a three-woman, nine-man jury are not the same head count. KSLA said its account came from the district attorney. The district attorney's post does not use KSLA's number.

KSLA reported, in a story by Aysha Decuir published at 9:27 p.m. CDT on Wednesday, Oct. 28, 2026, that the information came from the Caddo District Attorney's Office. The station reported a nine-person jury deliberated for less than an hour before finding Kenavion Marquis Baker, 29, guilty of second-degree murder, armed robbery and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon in the July 5, 2023, killing of Terry Morris, 20. The district attorney's office posted that a three-woman, nine-man jury in District Judge Donald E. Hathaway Jr.'s court deliberated less than an hour and returned a guilty-as-charged decision on those three counts. Nine and twelve are not the same number of jurors. Three women and nine men are twelve. KSLA did not print the judge's name. Both accounts said Baker is 29 and Morris was 20, and both put the killing on July 5, 2023. The station's browser title says a jury found him guilty after less than an hour. The headline on the story says he was convicted in a 2023 murder and the theft of the victim's car. A deliberation time and a car theft are not the same headline. The district attorney's post uses neither line.

KSLA reported prosecutors said Morris and a friend, Kaleb Washington, went to Baker's home in north Shreveport for Baker to work on Morris' car. The district attorney's post said they went to Baker's house, and it printed Morris's car. Home and house are not the same word. Morris' and Morris's are not the same apostrophe. Both said that shortly after they arrived, Baker shot Morris in the head without provocation. KSLA said he used a gun he was prohibited from having because of a prior felony conviction for aggravated flight from an officer. The district attorney's post said he used a firearm he was not legally allowed to possess, for the same prior felony. A gun and a firearm are the same object in those sentences. Prohibited and not legally allowed are not the same wording. Both said he then robbed Washington of his phone at gunpoint, that Washington pleaded for his life, and that the plea was overheard by a person on the phone with Morris. KSLA said "on the phone with Morris at the time." The district attorney's post said "on the other end of a phone call with Morris." Both said Baker ordered Washington to get a blanket, wrap the body, and help load it into the car. KSLA said "get a blanket" and "help load it." The post said "retrieve a blanket" and "help him load the body." Both said that after Baker drove Washington home, he fled in the car to Natchitoches, that investigators traced the car through the phone, and that he led authorities to San Augustine, Texas, where he wrecked the car. KSLA called it a high-speed chase and said he ran into a wooded area. The post called it a high-speed pursuit and said he fled into a wooded area. Chase and pursuit are not the same word. Both said he was arrested the next day, that the body was still in the wrecked car, and that the gun was found nearby. KSLA said the gun "was found nearby." The post said it "was located nearby."

Both accounts said jurors heard an eyewitness, the person on the phone with Morris, Shreveport police investigators, a forensic pathologist, a DNA expert and a firearms examiner. KSLA said the jurors heard testimony from them. The district attorney's post did not use the word testimony. Both named Assistant District Attorneys Courtney N. Ray and Stephen Folk-Cruthirds for the prosecution, and Harry Johnson and Silver Sanders for the defense. The post added docket No. 396253. KSLA did not print a docket number. KSLA reported Baker is scheduled to be sentenced Nov. 5 and faces a mandatory sentence of life in prison at hard labor without the possibility of probation, parole or reduction of sentence on the murder conviction, 10 to 99 years for armed robbery with an additional five years for use of a firearm, and five to 20 years for the firearm conviction. The district attorney's post said he will return Nov. 5, 2026, and faces a mandatory hard-labor life term without benefit of probation, parole or reduction of sentence, at least 10 and up to 99 years for the armed robbery with a five-year enhancement, and at least five and up to 20 years on the firearm count. Possibility and benefit are not the same word. An additional five years and a five-year enhancement are not the same phrase. Five to 20 years and at least five and up to 20 years are one range. Wednesday's verdicts are the finding. Nov. 5 is the sentencing date. The life term and the ranges are what the office says he faces. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
