NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — Two more people have been identified as suspects following a large brawl at a local high school graduation ceremony.
On Wednesday, June 1, NOPD identified 38-year-old Sjanitta Egana and 18-year-old Jaci Egana in the investigation of the fight at the George Washington Carver High School commencement.
