New Charges in Murder Cases Across Three Cities

In New Orleans, Michael Adams was arrested on accessory-to-second-degree-murder and obstruction charges in the investigation into the disappearance and suspected killing of 69-year-old Alphonse Hogan Jr.; Frederick Johnson was previously charged with second-degree murder and remains jailed. In Akron, Ashanti Jarvis was charged with aggravated murder in the May 27 shooting death of Dylante Richardson, accused of driving Carlos Shropshire Jr. to and from the scene; Shropshire was charged earlier, and investigators say surveillance-camera footage helped identify the vehicle. In Sumter County, Kenneth Nelson was arrested on an outstanding murder warrant in the August killing of Maurice Isaac, whose burned body was found the following day near Cedar Avenue; Equante Bell had previously been charged, and authorities say further arrests are possible.
