Larme Price

On February 11, 2004, Price was found guilty and sentenced to life in prison. He was sentenced to one hundred and fifty years without the possibility of parole. As of 2022, he remains incarcerated at the Sullivan Correctional Facility.

On February 8, 2003, Price shot and killed 42-year-old John Freddy, a Guyana native, at a convenience store in Queens, New York. Freddy was killed as he drank coffee at the Central Mini Market in Ozone Park, which was located just across the street from the supermarket he worked in. A surveillance camera showed a man in a dark coat, baseball cap, and hooded sweatshirt shooting Freddy from behind the ear. Two hours later at a convenience store in Brooklyn, 50-year-old Sukhjit "Sammy" Khajala, an Indian immigrant who worked at the store, was fatally shot in the face with the same gun used in Freddy's killing, a .40-caliber revolver. According to police, the killer took $169 from the cash register and slowly walked out.

On March 28, 2003, Price walked into the 77th Precinct station and told police he knew who was responsible for the murders. He said a man named "Dog" was behind them. However, police were not convinced and suspected Price immediately. Police noted that Price walked in a similar fashion to the killer, whose walk had been seen in a surveillance video of one of the killings. He also resembled the suspect in the wanted poster. Police took his cellphone number and said they would call him the next day. The following day, police met with Price, and he confessed to the killings. He supposedly confessed after reading the Bible and noting the commandment, "Thou shalt not kill."

According to Price's mother, in 2001, a few weeks after the September 11 attacks, Price went crazy and could no longer control his urges to kill. His mental health problems worsened and were exacerbated by the attacks. He walked around scared all the time and said he was going to join the war. He was also convinced people were following him, including the belief that a tracking device had been installed in his hand. On October 6, 2001, he was treated at Kings County Hospital Center.

He remains incarcerated at the Sullivan Correctional Facility.
