FAIRFIELD—

Since the body of 13-year-old Genelle Alan was found at Alan Witt Park last month, the city has improved lighting and surveillance cameras in five parks city-wide.

Other parks are on the list for upgrades, all in the name of safety.

“The city of Fairfield has never really told people we use those devices,” said Councilwoman Catherine Moy.

Those devices? They’re known as Mosquito Sonic Teen Deterrents. They put out high frequency sound not to move mosquitos, however, but young people out of an area they’re not supposed to be.

It’s one security measure in place that some consider controversial.

“I’m the first one to step up for people’s civil rights and I don’t think a noise like that to disperse people when they’re doing something they’re not supposed to be doing, that’s not a violation of civil rights, that’s common sense,” Moy said.

Moy hopes the added security measures will prevent further tragedy.

“We should be representing those children that can’t represent themselves. Them and the elderly – those are the people I really look out for.”

FAIRFIELD–

Police arrested 32-year-old Anthony Lamar Jones, a local barber, for the crime. FOX40 has learned from court documents that Jones has a history of violence.

“He has demons and deep issues,” that’s one mom’s reaction Saturday night, from those who paid their respect to 13-year-old Genelle Conway-Allen — who was kidnapped, raped and murdered. Her body was later dumped at Alan Witt Park.

“It’s an outrage. You have these grown men, that does these nasty, horrible, ugly things to these children. They don’t deserve that.”

The documents reveal Jones’ wife had filed for a restraining order after a couple of violent fights, in which Jones reportedly assaulted her and threatened to burn down the house.

The wife said during one fight that Jones armed himself with a knife and gun and told her he didn’t want to die alone.

“I visited the barber shop, and I saw this individual, and he was always … He would never look up and acknowledge … Very, very quiet and I would wonder about his spirit,” another mom at the park said.

Jones was served with the restraining order just hours after Genelle’s body was found.

Police arrested Jones exactly one week later.

“It makes me wanna make sure who’s around me? What’s around me?  Make sure I’m always with someone,” a classmate of Genelle’s said.

More details are coming to light about the man suspected of raping and murdering a teen. Rowena Shaddox reports.

More than 500 people showed up at Friday nights vigil for Genelle Conway-Allen, among the crowd her family just trying to cope.

“I’m coping okay I guess,” said Josh Allen, Genelle’s father.

Candles were lit and prayers were recited in hopes of bring some peace to the young life lost.

Parents clung to their children glad that the man police believe is responsible, 32-year-old Anthony Lamar Jones, is behind bars, and worried that more like him could be lurking around every corner.

“I’m glad. I hope they got the right guy and there is justice,” said Allen.

Genelle, 13, was found dead one week earlier in Allen Witt park.
