Two young women who lured a Brooklyn man to his death with sexy text messages and naked photos will testify against the men accused of ordering and carrying out the murder, prosecutors said at the opening of the suspects’ trial yesterday.
Ragene Powell-Dickerson, 29, paid Jimmy Copeland, 26, $1,000 to kill Dwayne Burnett, 26, in Brownsville in 2011, prosecutors say.
Ebony Geddie, 19, and Crystal Copeland, 25, sister of the accused shooter, took plea deals in exchange for testifying against the defendants, sources said.
The defendants recruited the two women to ensnare Burnett, prosecutors said.
Trial testimony will continue today.
