New Orleans District Attorney Jason Williams will announce a grand jury's decision to charge several teenagers in a fatal carjacking in which a 73yearold was dragged by her own car and her arm was severed.

A news conference to announce the grand jury's decision has been scheduled for 2:15 p.m. The event will be livestreamed on WWLTV.com and on the WWLTV Facebook Page and YouTube channel.

New Orleans police say Linda Frickey died on March 21 after she became entangled in a seat belt as carjackers sped away with her car. Her arm was severed after she was dragged about a block away while neighbors looked on helplessly.

A tearful Leanne Mascar and her husband Mark Mascar tried to comfort the victim as she died at the scene.

“I was telling this woman to hang in there,” Mark Mascar said. “Every time I heard a siren, I was hoping and praying that was an ambulance.”

The Orleans Parish Coroner's Office said Frickey's cause of death was "blunt force injuries."
