73-year old Linda Frickey of New Orleans.
Four teenagers involved in the horrific New Orleans carjacking that claimed the life of a 73-year-old Linda Frickey Monday have been arrested. Frickey was dragged to her death and died after her arm was severed. NOPD Superintendent Shaun Ferguson says a 17-year-old male, a 16-year-old girl, and two 15-year-old girls could be charged as adults.
“Look at what we’re facing, brazenness, broad daylight, with no regards to this woman, hanging from the vehicle. I think at some point and time we have to step up and hold these individuals accountable,” said Ferguson.
Ferguson says two of the teen’s parents turned in their own children after surveillance video of the suspects in the carjacking was released.
“The parents of one fifteen-year-old female immediately called our investigators and turned their daughter in, and then the parents of a seventeen-year-old turned her son in,” said Ferguson.
He says their cooperation then led them to a residence where the remaining suspects were arrested.
With three of the four suspects being female, Ferguson was asked if the recent increase in females committing violent crimes is disturbing.
“It is very concerning but nevertheless I think there’s a behavior, it’s not necessarily about a gender thing, there’s a certain culture that we must address,” said Ferguson.
All four are facing second-degree murder charges in the death of Frickey.
