Last week’s killing of four people in Hayes continued a recent trend of murders in the parish.
On Saturday, 21-year-old Clayton Howell, was shot and killed in the once peaceful community of Frankfield.
The police believe that youth gangs popping up in Frankfield and various communities in the parish are responsible for the upsurge in crime and violence.
