Officers responding to a call of a carjacking found Ms Frickey lying on the ground unresponsive and pronounced her dead at the scene.
Three arrests were made based on information given to authorities by two of the accused teens' parents, with the final suspect turning herself in on Tuesday.
"The mother of one of the 15-year-old female suspects turned her daughter in to police," the NOPD wrote in a press statement. "Later in the evening, officers located and arrested the male suspect and one of the female suspects at the location after receiving information from the male suspect's parents. The remaining female suspect surrendered to police this morning (March 22)."
At a press conference on Tuesday, NOPD Superintendent Shaun Ferguson commended the parents for making the undoubtedly difficult call to turn their children in.
"This was an incredibly difficult decision, on the behalf of these parents, and I want to commend them for doing the right thing," he said.
"It's very painful to turn in your child for something you know they were not raised to be."
Family describe Ms Frickey as a friendly and caring woman and say she was planning on retiring in a month. She was reportedly looking forward to spending more time with her recently-retired husband and their granddaughter.
"Linda should have lived to be 100 years old, still helping everybody," her sister-in-law, Kathy Richard, told Fox8. "She didn't have the chance to see her son get married next year and her granddaughter was only seven years old.
"She didn't get enough time with her. She did not deserve to go that way."Explore more on these topics:
