Latest Developments In The Iris Davis Case

This week, two men, 43-year-old Desmond Flugence and 33-year-old Darren Francis, were arrested. Chief Martin tells us that both men were arrested on a charge of Carnal Knowledge of a Juvenile in reference to a separate incident.

Martin says the allegations are that both men had sex with her. Martin says these allegations stem from a separate incident from the homicide.

However, Martin says that the investigation into the young girl's death continues, and additional arrests are always a possibility.

The St. Martinville community has been stunned by the crime. A candlelight vigil was held for the teenager on Friday, July 25. At that time, Mayor Jason Willis said at the vigil that the entire community was experiencing grief.
