A District teenager orchestrated the slaying of Latisha M. Frazier by luring her to his apartment and ordering his friends to beat and choke the woman before trying to dismember her in the bathtub, according to charging documents filed Thursday in D.C. Superior Court.
Johnnie Sweet, 17, was shackled and wearing a white polo shirt and khaki pants when he appeared in court Thursday before Magistrate Judge Diane Brenneman. Standing with Sweet were co-defendants Anneka Nelson, 16, and Cinthya A. Proctor, 18. All three are charged as adults with first-degree felony murder and other related charges.
Also Thursday, the Capital Area Regional Fugitive Task Force arrested Laurence Kamal Hassan, 23, of Southeast Washington. He was charged in a warrant with felony murder (kidnapping).
In the past two weeks, authorities have arrested and charged five people in Frazier's slaying. Brian A. Gaither, 23, was the first arrested. He was charged with second-degree murder.
Documents filed Thursday by prosecutors gave new and horrifying details in the attack on Frazier, whose body has not been found. Relatives reported Frazier, who lived in Southeast Washington, missing Aug. 4, and they distributed photo fliers across the city, hoping to help locate her.
According to the documents, Sweet told detectives that he suspected Frazier, 19, of stealing $200 from him. Sweet told his friends he was going to invite Frazier, a single mother of a 3-year-old daughter, over to his apartment in the 1700 block of Trenton Place SE.
