CAUTION

Three males have since been arrested on state warrants charging them with capital murder in connection with this case. Lingo-Perkins, an alleged active participant in the planning and execution of the crime, has also been charged in a state warrant for capital murder and a federal warrant for unlawful flight to avoid prosecution.
