FERRIDAY, La. (AP) — A man has been sentenced to five years in prison for his conviction in the death of a Louisiana woman beaten at a carwash last May.
The Natchez Democrat reported that 21-year-old Donteale K. Carter of Ferriday was sentenced on a manslaughter conviction late last week.
Carter had been charged with second-degree battery after 42-year-old Teresa Poole of Ferriday was attacked at a carwash May 9. The charge was upgraded to second-degree murder after Poole died from her head injuries May 17.
Investigators used video from the carwash to identify Carter as a suspect.
The Concordia Parish Sheriff's Office helped in the investigation.
