A woman in Louisiana has been accused of killing her boyfriend, and now police say she allegedly admitted to killing her ex-boyfriend back in 2021.
Around 7:15 a.m. on July 15, police found Christopher Holden, 34, dead from apparent gunshot wounds at Flannery Road Park, according to the Baton Rouge Police Department.
WBRZ-TV reported that volunteers cleaning up the park discovered Holden’s body.
Police obtained surveillance video from the night before, which allegedly showed 42-year-old Janice Frazier, the victim’s girlfriend, and another person leaving an apartment building in different vehicles and acting “suspiciously,” WBRZ-TV reported.
They then allegedly met up at the park where Holden’s body was later found, police said.
Frazier was identified as the primary suspect and officers arrested her on July 16 and charged her with second-degree murder and obstruction of justice, according to officials.
Authorities alleged Frazier shot Holden on July 14 before his body was transported to the park.
Frazier allegedly told detectives her son, 23-year-old Christopher Smith, was at the apartment at the time of the shooting, WBRZ-TV reported.
Detectives questioned Smith, who reportedly said he heard a gunshot and later saw Frazier and 45-year-old Gregory Williams putting the body in the back of a vehicle, officials said, adding that Smith then went with Frazier and Williams to the park where the body was placed.
On July 20, Williams and Smith were both arrested in connection with Holden’s shooting death, the Baton Rouge Police Department announced.
