The New Orleans Police Department says they have now booked a second suspect connected to the murder of 12-year-old Derrick Cash.
As Nola.com reports, Tyree Conerly, 19, was booked with one count of second-degree murder late Monday night. Conerly surrendered to police on Monday at NOPD Headquarters.
Conerly was arrested after Tyrese Harris, 18, reportedly confessed Sunday to his role in Cash’s murder after police arrested Harris for carjacking and dragging a woman on Feb. 1 as she was pumping gas at the Costco near Carrollton Avenue.
