Shreveport Police are seeking Jelisia Nicole Moran on an arrest warrant for habitual theft at Ulta Beauty on Youree Drive. Store management reported a combined loss of $1,975.93 in beauty products from three thefts.

Why it matters

The warrant reflects the habitual-offender charge, which applies when a suspect has prior theft convictions, and it was issued with no bond. The case shows how repeat retail theft is pursued through prior-conviction records in the Shreveport-Bossier area.

A judge signed a habitual theft warrant for Moran on October 27, 2026, with no bond set. Police have not confirmed an arrest, and the warrant's status remains pending.
