A 10-year-old confessed to fatally shooting a former Louisiana mayor and his daughter – with witnesses saying an argument over credit card charges for video games sparked the killings
Joe Cornelius, 82, and his daughter, Keisha Miles, 31, were shot multiples times by the unidentified minor, who confessed to the shooting, according Minden Police Chief Jared McIver said, according to KTBS.
‘We’ve got a confession. But in these cases when you’re in, it’s very delicate,’ McIver said. ‘When you’re dealing with a child of this age, you know, in their stage, we’re looking at was there motive, what was the motive? What caused [it], what sparked it, you know, since the victims were shot.
‘It’s one of those things that we’ve still got a lot of unanswered questions.’
McIver described the child as ‘scared,’ but said the minor had the ‘mindset to commit a crime like this,’ according to KTBS.
The boy’s relationship to the victims is unclear.
Police responded to a home on Austin Street around 6:30am on Sunday after receiving reports of shots fired. Authorities found the victims inside with multiple gunshot wounds.
