Two teenage boys who were arrested in Franklin County and charged with the murder of 19-year-old Hamilton Mathia Woods Jr. will appear in court today.
Posted — UpdatedGavin Miller, 18, and Dillon Piper, 19, are charged with second degree murder for the death of Woods, who died on Jan. 29 in the Kerigon Lane area of Youngsville.
According to authorities, all three men knew each other, and the killing was not random.
The Franklin County Sheriff's Office said they expect to make more arrests.
Destiny Cannady, Woods' older sister, released a statement on Facebook Sunday.
"My little brother, the one who swore he was the oldest, the one who was guaranteed to make you laugh because of something crazy he did, the one I fought day and night to prove I was the strongest, the one who would call me at midnight just to ask about his nieces. RIP 'Big Bro'"
Miller and Piper are being held on a $5 million bond at the Franklin County Detention Center.
