Neighbors said they ran to try to help but there was little that could be done to save a woman who was carjacked and dragged to her death Monday afternoon in a New Orleans neighborhood.
Monday afternoon, Austin Northcott knew something was wrong in his Mid-City neighborhood.
“I heard screaming, like you’re about to die sort of scream,” said Northcott. “Just not a normal scream.”
Those screams were from 73-year-old Linda Frickey, who police say was carjacked and dragged to death by her own SUV. Witnesses say it happened when a vehicle pulled up next to her parked SUV in the 300 block of N. Scott Street.
“It’s just heartbreaking to see that,” said Northcott.
Witnesses say Frickey was caught in her seatbelt and dragged as her SUV sped off on Bienville Avenue, steps away from Mark and Leanne Mascar’s front door.
