Bay St. Louis — Warrants have been issued for two New Orleans men wanted in the slaying of a Hancock County man.

Sheriff’s Investigator Matt Carver says 21-year-old Marco Parker is wanted on a capital murder charge and 21-year-old Darvale Warren Chriss is wanted for accessory to murder.

The two men are wanted in connection with the shooting death of 60-year-old William Garcia, who was found dead inside his cottage in Bayside Park on September 22.

Investigators have not released a motive in the shooting.

Three men already have been arrested in the case.
