Ceasar’s family was invited to join police for Friday’s announcement.

His Godmother, Jennifer Fontenot, says the family has peace knowing the suspects have been caught.

 “I feel relieved and I feel like we are getting a little closure, we still have a long way to go. I thank god today that he gave a chance for Akeem to come into my life. God sits high and looks down low and we will get our closure to this.”

Angel Lewis, Ceasar’s sister says she is thankful for the support from the community.

 “I thank everyone for being so supportive throughout all of this. We have been through so much he’s not going to be here with us anymore, but we are happy to find the people that did this to him because he did not deserve this, he really didn’t. He was a great, great person and we will never know why they did it, but God knows.”

Fontenot says this is still an ongoing investigation. If anyone has any information in connection to this case to please contact Eunice Police.
