Suspect Wanted in Several Violent Crime Investigations
AMITE (November 12, 2026)- The Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Office (TPSO) has issued a warrant for a suspect wanted in several recent violent crimes, including a carjacking early this morning.
Kendall Jackson III, 19, is currently wanted for one count of Carjacking. He is also suspected in a carjacking from last week in Amite and believed to be connected to a shooting earlier this week, also in Amite. In addition, Jackson has outstanding warrants from Probation and Parole related to Domestic Violence and Weapons convictions as well as at least one open investigation into a vehicle pursuit in a stolen car from back in October.
Early this morning, November 12, the TPSO responded to Bankston Road in Amite for a carjacking. Deputies arrived to find a man and a woman reporting that four black males came into their yard, pointed weapons at them and demanded money and their car keys then took off in the car. They were not hurt.
At this time, detectives have determined one of those suspects is Jackson and have issued a warrant for his arrest. The group of suspects was last seen in a blue Chevrolet Equinox with Louisiana handicap license plate “457 152.”
