Oneal sentenced for multiple crimes

A Shreveport man who pleaded guilty to a shopping list of crimes in December rather than face trial that would have exposed him to enhanced sentencing must serve more than 13 years in prison, a Caddo judge ruled Tuesday, March 3, 2026.

Jeremy Shaquille Oneal, 34, pleaded guilty December 16, 2025, to felony aggravated flight from officers and simple criminal property damage before District Judge Ramona Emanuel. The case, in docket No. 398664, concerned events of November 11, 2023, when Shreveport police attempted to pull him over for failure to use a turn signal on Jewella Avenue at West 70th Street. After officers activated their lights and sirens Oneal led police on a pursuit with speeds in excess of 25 mph over the posted speed limit, driving west in the eastbound lanes, leaving the roadway and subsequently wrecking his vehicle on Gaywood Lane.

Oneal also pleaded guilty as charged to all the cases he had pending in Caddo District Court. Besides the immediate charges, he also pleaded guilty as charged to domestic abuse battery (third offense); domestic abuse child endangerment, violation of a protective order with battery of a protected person; and domestic abuse battery with a dangerous weapon. He also pleaded guilty to misdemeanor resisting a police officer. 

In docket No. 398664, he was sentenced to three years hard labor for aggravated flight from an officer and one year at hard labor for simple criminal property damage. In docket No. 39899, domestic abuse battery third offense, he was sentenced to five years hard labor, to three years at hard labor for domestic abuse child endangerment, two years at hard labor for violation of a protective order with battery of a protected person, and 10 years at hard labor for domestic abuse battery with a dangerous weapon. He also received a three-month parish jail sentence for misdemeanor resisting an officer in docket No. 399163.  

The charges in each docket number are to be served concurrently with each other, but each sentence in a different docket number is to be served consecutively to each other, for a total of 13 years and 3 months.

Assistant District Attorneys Fernando Grider Jr. and Senae D. Hall prosecuted Oneal. Defense attorneys were Royal Alexander and Silver Sanders.
