WATCH: Police Urge Villa Residents to Speak After Execution-Style Killing of Teen Couple
Police Public Relations Officer Frankie Thomas is urging residents of Villa to come forward with any information that could help investigators following the senseless killing of two teenagers.
Seventeen-year-old Brianna Clark and Omari Lewis were shot and killed in what has shocked the community and intensified concerns about rising gun violence.
Thomas made a direct appeal to residents, stressing that silence only protects those responsible and delays justice for the victims and their grieving families.
These are the 7th and 8th homicides for the year.
