DA considering charging teen as adult after body dumped in BREC park
BATON ROUGE - A teen is facing the possibility of being charged as an adult in the armed robbery and killing of 18-year-old Davanota Deon London.
Jahmari Street, 16, was charged with first-degree murder and armed robbery after London's body was dumped at a BREC park near the intersection of Perkins Road and Kenilworth Parkway on June 26.
The coroner's office said he died from a gunshot wound to the head.
Last week police released that the 16-year-old suspect robbed the victim, shot him, and dumped the body before stealing the victim's car.
