(ANSA) – WASHINGTON, SEPTEMBER 03 – A 10-year-old boy shot and killed the 82-year-old former mayor of Minden, a city in northwest Louisiana, and his 31-year-old daughter. They are Joe Cornelius Sr. and Keisha Miles. The bodies of both were found Sunday morning with multiple gunshot wounds. Authorities did not immediately say how the boy, who has been arrested, is connected to Cornelius and Miles. Neighbors told a local TV station that they heard Cornelius and the boy arguing, possibly over credit card charges for video games, and later heard multiple gunshots. But investigators said any potential motive in the case is still being determined. Cornelius was a longtime member of the Minden City Council. After the death of the city’s mayor, Cornelius was named interim mayor in 2013. He had also been a former deputy sheriff and was a prominent leader in the city’s black community. (ANSA).
