NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) – Two 16 year olds, accused of murdering a Domino’s pizza delivery man and taking his car, are due in court Tuesday. Both Rendell Brown and Shane Hughes will be tried as adults on charges of first-degree murder.
The victim, 35-year-old Richard Yeager, was found shot to death on St. Louis street near N. White in Midcity, early in the morning on September 22nd.
New Orleans police arrested Brown and Hughes just days after the incident. The Orleans Parish district attorney’s office says detectives were helped by the fact that the suspects were wearing ankle monitors.
