MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Two men wanted on murder charges in a Louisiana killing were captured in Memphis this week.
U.S. Marshals said Abd Del Ghader Sylla was shot and killed Nov. 30 during a gas station robbery in Kenner, Louisiana.
A warrant was issued a few days later for the arrest of Lamonte Loggins, and investigators tracked him to a house in the 800 block of Kippley in Memphis. Loggins was taken into custody around midnight Tuesday the marshals service said.
A second suspect, Eric Rodgers, also was arrested as a fugitive on homicide charges out of Kenner, Louisiana, according to Shelby County court records. Those records show Rodgers was booked Wednesday.
According to a nola.com article, the two are brothers who moved from Tennessee to Louisiana two years ago.
Loggins faces charges of first-degree murder and armed robbery. Marshals say he is awaiting extradition to Louisiana.
Rodgers faces a second-degree murder charge, according to nola.com. Records show he has a court date Friday.
