A Louisiana preteen has reportedly shown no remorse as he admitted to shooting a former Louisiana mayor and his adult daughter to death during a heated argument Sunday.
The 11-year-old suspect allegedly confessed to the killings of his relatives, Joe Cornelius Sr., 81, and 31-year-old Keisha Miles, in the presence of his legal guardian, his grandmother.
Minden Police Chief Jared McIver said the preteen’s initial statements “didn’t add up” and he did not show signs of feeling guilty.
“Now people, I understand, and here is something I have to say, everyone grieves differently,”
“But I think we all know what grieving looks like and what it should look like and I just, you know, didn’t see it.”
Neighbors said the boy shot the former interim mayor of Minden and his daughter during an argument over video games' credit charges.
“There’s a lot of pieces to put together, a lot of evidence that’s been collected and we got to take this puzzle and piece it together – piece by piece,” McIver said.
“Who knows why someone would do something this malicious – and at that age.”
