A man wanted in a fatal shooting outside of a southwest Little Rock hotel turned himself in to police Thursday.
Markevious King, 24, of Little Rock, was charged with first degree murder and two counts of first degree battery and is expected to make a court appearance Friday, according to Lt. Terry Hastings of the Little Rock Police Department.
King's surrender means police are still looking for two other suspects - Marcus Deshawn Simmons, 23, and Raymond L. Moore, 28, both of Little Rock.
Gerrick Jawone Young, 20, has already been arrested in the Aug. 18 shooting.
Young, King and the two other men are all suspects in the shooting outside the Baymont Inn & Suites on Mitchell Drive.
An officer nearby that night heard gunshots and arrived to find Larry Sims shot in the chest. Sims later died.
Police found two more shooting victims in a car about a block away. Little Rock resident Edward Davis , 28, was shot in the face and Elijah Smith, 26, of North Little Rock was shot in the face and chest.
