NEW ORLEANS — Jury selection began Monday in the trial of four teenagers accused of killing a 73-year-old woman during a carjacking in Mid-City back in March 2022.
Frickey was beaten and tossed out of her car in a carjacking, but her arm got twisted in the door and she was dragged to her death, her arm severing in the incident.
The teens are scheduled to be tried as adults. John Honore, Lenyra Theophile, Mar’Qel Curtis and Briniyah Baker, face second-degree murder charges.
The trial was supposed to begin on Apr. 4, of this year, but was delayed by a judge until March 2024. The Louisiana Supreme Court then decided that the trial must be held in 2023.
