The St. Tammany district attorney has confirmed to WDSU Investigates that a high-profile Covington murder case is on a death penalty track. Antonio Tyson was indicted by a St. Tammany grand jury earlier this year. Tyson is accused of killing the Father Otis Young and his associate, Ruth Prats, and burning their bodies. Death penalty cases in Louisiana are at the discretion of the district attorney and up to a jury to decide if someone lives or dies. The death penalty has been at the center of the last five legislative sessions, where bills to abolish it ultimately failed. Tyson is facing two counts of first-degree murder and one count of obstruction of justice for the double homicide that happened in Covington on Nov. 27, 2022.Tyson entered a not-guilty plea on all counts.Tyson was in court Thursday in an orange jumpsuit, surrounded by six deputies. New court documents shed light on evidence linked to the horrific murders.The evidence includes thousands of images from law enforcement surrounding the case.
