The Archbishop of New Orleans has issued a statement after a priest was identified as one of the burned bodies found in Covington earlier this week.
The St. Tammany Parish Coroner's Office announced Tuesday that Otis Young was identified as one of the victims found burned beyond recognition in the 500 block of East Gibson Street Monday.
According to the coroner, Young died from blunt and sharp trauma, and the death has officially been classified as a homicide.
Archbishop Gregory Aymond issued a statement Wednesday, calling for prayer for the families affected by the murder.
Aymond said Yong was a beloved pastor and called the crime shocking.
A second body was also found at the location, but an autopsy was not able to be performed. The coroner says DNA confirmation is expected on Friday.
