One of the four teens accused of carjacking and murdering Linda Frickey in New Orleans nearly one year ago was ordered to a mental treatment facility on Monday, NOLA.com reports.
The judge found 16-year-old Lenyra Theophile not mentally competent to stand trial. She will receive treatment in an effort to restore her competency.
Three other suspects are still on schedule to begin trial next month.
Eighteen-year-old John Honore, 16-year-old Briniyah Baker, and 15-year-old Mar'Qel Curtis all face charges as adults after the Mid-City carjacking sent shockwaves citywide. Frickey, a 72-year-old woman, became entangled in her seat belt as the carjackers sped away in her vehicle, dragging her behind the car until her arm was ripped from her body.
All four suspects have entered not guilty pleas. Trial is set to begin April 3.
