According to reports, prosecutors working on the Madison Brooks case would attempt to strengthen the accusations brought against the four suspects. The student, who was 19 years old, passed away on January 15 after being struck by a car on Burbank Drive close to Pelican Lakes Parkway. According to reports, she was allegedly sexually assaulted by two men before the accident while the other two looked on in a moving automobile. According to WAFB, felony prosecutor Stuart Theriot of the East Baton Rouge District Attorney's Office said that the defendants, Kaivon Deondre Washington, 18, Everette Lee, 28, Casen Carver, 18, and an unidentified teenager, are expected to face first-degree rape charges in the near future. Theriot further stated that he wants to present the case to a grand jury.
