“In last night’s case, they stole knives from the actual store where they were at. It is really heart-breaking when we have to come in and pick up the pieces because so many families are damaged after this,” said Calcasieu Parish Sheriff Tony Mancuso at a press conference on Sunday night.
“Our whole case unfolded before us through live Facebook and Instagram … we have videos of everything that took place and it’s very disturbing,” said Mancuso. “The whole murder was played out on [social media] so, again, there appeared to be no remorse. It was very cold to see 12, 13, 14 and 15-year-olds acting this way and we as a society can’t tolerate it. We cannot let this plague and take over our community.”
Calcasieu Parish Sheriff’s Office said that the four females — aged 14, two girls who are 13 and 12 — were all booked into the juvenile detention center and one was charged with second degree murder while the other three were charged with principal to second degree murder.
Here is the video showing the alleged fight, and the aftermath, where the suspects friends say, “If she’s killed her, she’s dead – OH WELL.”
