Sheriff Jeff Wiley said the death is being investigated as a homicide, but the APSO hasn’t revealed how the teen was killed. Detectives said last week that the body had suffered blunt-force trauma to the head and foul play is suspected.

Back in December on his Facebook (link above). He writes "always worried about me". I wonder if he had some bad friends. 15 is so young. JMOO

Three teens and one man accused of beating a 15-year-old Donaldsonville High student to death in August 2014 pleaded not guilty to murder charges during their arraignment Monday.

Marcus Ester, 21; Tyrell Williams, 18; Kahlil Howard, 17; and Kaglin Green, 16, all of Donaldsonville, were indicted on single counts of second degree murder in August...

A state district judge in mid-June ruled the youngest defendants, Green and Howard, could be tried as adults in the slaying.
