Terror in the Neighborhood: The 17-Year-Old Killers

Terror in the Neighborhood: The 17-Year-Old Killers

Two 17-year-olds have been charged by the St. Charles Prosecuting Attorney’s Office in connection with the fatal shooting of a 64-year-old man within a local subdivision.

The lifeless body of Roy Cedric Nash, aged 64, was discovered in the front yard of a residence on Willow Oak Drive in the 1800 block on Thursday morning.

Verjulia Watkins and her partner, Damontaye Perkins, were swiftly apprehended and detained by authorities within a mere four hours of the incident. The rapid resolution of the case was attributed to the substantial presence of surveillance equipment installed by vigilant community members in the neighborhood. Captain Ray Juengst of the St. Charles Police Department highlighted the crucial role played by the community's proactive engagement and monitoring.

Police have determined that Watkins and Perkins conspired and executed the murder of Nash after a series of prolonged disputes, as stated by Lt. Tom Wilkison.

It was revealed that Watkins is, in fact, Nash's granddaughter.

Perkins is facing multiple charges, including second-degree murder, armed criminal action, motor vehicle theft, and tampering with evidence. His bond has been set at $250,000 to be paid exclusively in cash.


Similarly, Watkins faces charges of motor vehicle theft, personal property theft, and tampering with evidence. Her bond stands at $50,000 cash-only.

St. Charles County Prosecuting Attorney Tim Lohmar expressed unwavering confidence in securing convictions in this case.

Lohmar hinted at the possibility of escalating charges for one or both of the individuals involved, while maintaining the readiness to proceed with the trial if circumstances demanded, thanks to the substantial progress made within the first 24 hours of the investigation.
