LAKE CHARLES, La. (KLFY) — Friday, a community gathered to remember a Louisiana teen. The young girl’s life was brutally taken almost one week before.
Melanie Lyons, 15, was stabbed and killed at Walmart. A 13-year-old was charged for her murder.


[T]he country girl who loved to ride horses and dance on TikTok was celebrating her 15th birthday at the movie theater. Not long after, she went to Walmart, and waiting for her were four 12 to 14-year-old girls who broadcasted her through social media.
“It hurt to see it,” remembered another of Lyons’ cousins, Keri Edwards. “It hurted me the most because that wasn’t her.”

A 13-year-old girl is charged with second-degree murder. Three others were charged with principal to the murder. In the past six months, there have three homicides involving kids ages 11 to 16 within Calcasieu Parish according to the sheriff’s office.
