MANY, La. (KSLA) - After a five-day trial in the 11th Judicial District Court, a Sabine Parish jury returned two guilty verdicts of first-degree murder against a man responsible for two deadly shootings in 2017.
The Sabine Parish District Attorney’s Office says Blake Joseph Kendall was found guilty in the murder case.
Kendall was convicted late Friday night (Dec. 12) for the shooting deaths of Jerry Scott, 72, and Adam Jeter, 34. Scott was killed in August of 2017 at his home, and Jeter was killed four months later at his mailbox.

During the trial, the prosecution called to the stand 22 witnesses. Using testimony and physical evidence, it was determined the two victims were killed with the same handgun. Evidence also placed Kendall at the scene of both crimes, the DA’s office says.
“This case required years of investigative work and a team effort with law enforcement and investigators to bring the facts before the jury. Our responsibility was to present the facts clearly and hold the defendant accountable within the law for the loss of two lives. I am grateful for the work of law enforcement and for the jury’s careful evaluation of the evidence, and I hope this verdict brings a measure of justice and closure to the Scott and Jeter families," said First Assistant District Attorney Anna Garcie.
Kendall’s sentencing is scheduled for April 20, 2026. The convictions call for a mandatory life sentence without the benefit of probation, parole, or suspension of sentence.
