Fitzgerald Phillips and Calyisse Perkins, FNC Police have charged scumbag Kenneth Barnes, 22, in the weekend kidnapping of Fitzgerald Phillips and Calyisse Perkins, whose bodies were sadly found yesterday inside an abandoned house in the Gert Town section of New Orleans. According to media reports, the pair had been dead at least 24 hours before their bodies were discovered at 1:30 p.m. after police received anonymous tip.
Barnes was booked with aggravated kidnapping, possession of stolen items and other crimes after investigators discovered property belonging to the victims, the police said. Police were looking for at least one other person in the case. Barnes reportedly told detectives he and Phillips, a student at Southern University at New Orleans, sold marijuana together. Phillips, however, did not appear to have any criminal history in the city, police said. Perkins, who had volunteered as a literacy tutor with AmeriCorps at a local charter school, "was at the wrong place at the wrong time," the police said.It is sad that these scumbags could murder two promising young people for no apparent reason. I hope the long arm of the law has caught up with them and the other dirtbag will be found soon.
Police said the victims were in Perkins' apartment when two men got inside, ransacked the residence and forced them to go to Phillips' house, where more was stolen. According to investigators, Phillips' family later received a ransom call. A car owned by Phillips was found Sunday afternoon near the French Quarter, several miles from where the bodies were found.
Autopsies were planned, and Crimestoppers offered a reward of up to $5,000 for information leading to the arrest and indictment of whomever was responsible for the crimes. "There is no indication that these two young folk were involved in anything illegal," Deputy Police Superintendent Marlon Defillo said. Source: Fox News
