This just makes me sick...

I mean seriously a 14 year old and 2 15 year olds... this is getting out of control.

A 14-year-old boy, the third suspect in the French Quarter killing of 39-year-old Wendy Byrne, was turned in by his parents Thursday night, police said.

Two 15-year-olds were booked with murder Tuesday by New Orleans police after their mothers noticed they resembled suspects sketched by a police artist after the killing of the French Quarter bartender. Their mothers insisted they turn themselves in.

The search for the third suspect had been under way for days. Police said they knew his identity, but were having difficulty locating him. They have declined to identify him since his arrest because he is a juvenile.

The suspects arrested Tuesday were booked with first-degree murder and attempted armed robbery, according to NOPD Superintendent Warren Riley.

Byrne, a well-known bartender and French Quarter resident, was walking with an acquaintance at about 8 p.m. Saturday night near the intersection of Dauphine and Gov. Nicholls streets when the attack occurred.

Three boys, including one with a gun, approached the pair and demanded money, police said. Byrne did not resist, police said. Yet at some point one of the boys shot her, and the teens fled the scene without her money.

Re: This just makes me sick...

  • We were talking about this at school this morning. We have 14 and 15 year old kids on our campus!! But, I do think that it is awesome that their mothers turned them over to the police!!! There are so many parents in the world that try to protect their children, it's good to see parents letting the children suffer the consequences of their actions.

  • I agree, its about time parents stop protecting their kids.  God knows if I did something illegal my parents would be the first to call the police and turn me in while holding me down and knocking sense back into me!
