Jennings homicide victims laid to rest

JENNINGS, LA (KPLC) -

Still no answers to the tragic murder of Jennings couple Charles and Katrenna Williams last week, but today they were laid to rest. 

The Simien-Lewis Mortuary in Jennings was filled with friends and family of the victims as they mourned their loss and prayed for some answers.

The couple was found in their home the night of Sunday, Feb. 24. The Jennings Police Department is in charge of the investigation and suspect the couples' deaths to be linked to foul play, but ruled the case as a double homicide.

"She was such a beautiful person and everybody loved her. No one could say anything bad about her," Katrenna's sister Latricia Duplessis said.

Duplessis said she and her sister were close growing up together and can't understand how something this tragic could have happened to a woman she said was so caring.

"It's devastating. Just the way it happened was even more devastating," she said.

A mutual feeling for Charles' sister Shanequa Jones. 

"I got the phone call and I jumped on a place the next day to come out here, but it was just a tragedy. He had goals," Jones said.

Goals like moving and creating a better life for his wife Katrenna and 4-year-old son.

"He was a funny person. Always walked around with a smile on his face, always laughing," Jones said.

And for both families, they hope more answers on the case are brought to the surface and justice is served.

"My prayers that they find these people who've done this and prosecute them," Duplessis said.

The victims' 4-year-old son was unharmed the night of the incident. Family members told KPLC the boy is doing well and staying with family members for the time being.

EVERETT -- Police on Wednesday were canvassing the View Ridge-Madison neighborhood in Everett after a man was found dead there the night before. A neighbor spotted the man on the ground outside a vacant house at 22 Madison St. He called 911 about 6:20 p.m. The man had obvious signs of trauma to his torso, police said. He looked to be in his late 20s or early 30s. The Everett Major Crimes Unit is investigating the death as a homicide, Lt. Robert Goetz said. Detectives declined to say more about how they believe the man may have died. There are no identified suspects or motives. Detectives received a search warrant around 11:45 p.m. Tuesday and collected evidence at the scene. They returned Wednesday afternoon to look for clues in the daylight, Goetz said.

Manslaughter charges possible in boy's death

Published: Thursday, August 23, 2012, 5:55 p.m. MONROE -- Detectives believe a 7-year-old Monroe boy's parents should face second-degree manslaughter charges in connection with his January overdose death. Monroe police this week wrapped up their probe into the boy's Jan. 30 death and forwarded the case to prosecutors to decide if his parents should face criminal charges. Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Lisa Paul likely will begin reviewing the case in the coming days. She doesn't expect to make a charging decision in the near future, however. "It's quite an extensive investigation, and I want to review it thoroughly before I make any decision," she said. The boy, identified as "A.J." in court papers, ingested a lethal amount of salicylates, a chemical common in aspirin and other over-the-counter drugs. The medical examiner declined to conduct an autopsy on the boy, making it difficult to determine how the drug ended up in the boy's system. A
