Meanwhile, four teenagers charged with Palmer’s murder are scheduled to appear before a judge on Monday.
Eugene Dumas, 19, Xavia Barnes, 17, Alexander Gonzales, 19, and Jayshon Norment, 19, have all been detained. Police arrested Norment on Friday night. The other three were already in jail on unrelated charges.
An investigation is still ongoing.
