According to local news reports, a red bandanna is the sign of a local blood gang.
Angela King, 24, William Barry, 33, Justin Mahaffey, 23, and Aileenah Horton, 17, have been arrested, but have yet to be charged in the murder.
Police are still looking for Jeffrey W. Powell, II, 30. He was been charged with first-degree murder, robbery and kidnapping.
According to court documents, two of those arrested have accused Barker of sexually assaulted them in the weeks before his death. One of the men arrested told authorities Barker had molested a three-year-old girl.’
County Prosecutor Mark Lindquist says it’s not clear ‘if this is a case of vigilante revenge or if the allegation of sexual assault is just a cover story’.
