Registered sex offender shot to death when answering knock at door

The Sabine Parish Coroner has released the identity of a man shot to death when answering the door.

The body of 72-year-old Jerry Wayne Scott was found in the doorway at his home in the 1300 block of Matthews Lodge Road in Many on Saturday morning, according to Sabine Parish Assistant Coroner Ron Rivers.

Rivers said that Scott’s body was found lying face up on the living room floor of his mobile home.

It is believed that Scott went to answer a knock at the front door of the home when an unknown gunman fired a single shot through the storm door.

The gunshot hit Scott in the upper chest, killing him instantly.

Investigators are treating the incident as a hate crime. Scott was a registered sex offender in the state of Louisiana.

    For those who know me know my stance on this, as here it is happening again. My belief is if it can be proven someone causes bodily harm or death to a registered citizen as a result of info supplied by the state the state is aiding and abetting in this crime and should be held accountable. If you had intentions of robbing a bank and ask me for a ride to withdraw some money and i didn’t know your intention, you come out of the bank and we drive off and get busted, who gets arrested and who goes to jail? We both do! If i didnt supply the ride you couldn’t have robbed the bank so i’m culpable by law.
    If this guy did not get info from reg. how could he find this man and kill him? They supplied him the means and he carried out, with their assistance, the murder of this poor man. Cut and dry, the state aided and abetted in murder. What we need is someone to challenge the state with this. I’m told i’m crazy, I would be laughed out of court but it seems so obvious to me that the state is handing out contracts on reg. citizens to any taker. Are they above the law?

    I am a rso not proud for my mistakes in my past. and yes I do worry
    for my family and my safety. because anyone can get access to my
    family or me to retaliate for my past. I think of this all the time so I
    keep myself away from my adult children and my grandchildren so
    that society in a hole will not threaten or condemn my family with
    harm or embarrassment. my wife of 37 years has stood by my side
    and forgiven me and to that point I will never let her down. this
    registry is just another way for state to control the American people.
    with fear and propaganda. just like Ronald Reagan said tear down that wall. thank you all who fight for my rights as an american

    Attention F.A.C this would be great chance for some one to file some type of legal $$$$$lawsuit$$$$$$$ against the state for making someone a target for being murdered for being on a public registry run by the state?

    It’s just a guess, but I think the “hate crime” angle will be because of his age, not his status as a registrant.

    Also, it’s nice to see that the sheriff’s office pulled his listing on the registry website. The Louisiana registry is riddled with the deceased.

      Wait…are you saying he was shot because he was old, not because of satan’s so label?

    Explain to me how as a sex offender you can never have your rights back to own a gun and protect yourself and your family. But someone can have a gun charge, drug charge, assault charge and they can have there gun ownership rights restored.
