An east Baton Rouge Parish grand jury found there was sufficient evidence that Lil Boosie, 27, engaged in a murder-for-hire of Terry Boyd, and police suspect that Boosie is responsible for several other similar murders.
Two other Baton Rouge men — 17-year-old Michael “Marlo Mike’’ Louding and 36-year-old Adrian Pittman — were indicted earlier this month on first-degree murder charges in Boyd’s killing.
Boosie has been jailed since November on drug charges. Boosie, his girlfriend, a former Dixon Correctional Institute guard, and an inmate, were also indicted on conspiracy to bring illegal contraband into the prison, including codeine, marijuana pills and synthetic marijuana.
East Baton Rouge Parish District Attorney Hillar Moore III said investigators are looking into whether Hatch and others were involved in at least five other slayings since early last year. Louding is charged in six murders during that time span, including the February 2009 shooting death of local up-and-coming rapper Chris “Nussie’’ Jackson. –terry shropshire
