Flugence was arrested and is being held without bond in the Jefferson Parish Correctional Center in Gretna on a charge of first-degree murder. He also is booked with sexual battery involving another young girl for allegedly touching a 10-year-old girl’s genitals in April or May of 2012, also a relative.
His older brother, Russell Flugence, 21, was arrested for failing to report a felony. Matthew told him on July 14 that he killed Ahlittia.
Ahlittia’s autopsy revealed no evidence of sexual activity. A pocket knife that Flugence was carrying during the time of his arrest is being processed to determine if it’s the murder weapon.
