A third teen faces charges in the January slaying of a Little Rock mother who was shot during a robbery while reportedly holding her 2-year-old child.

Darrell Dixon, 15, of Little Rock was arrested Wednesday and booked into the Pulaski County jail on charges of capital murder, aggravated robbery, aggravated assault and theft of property, according to police.

Jail records show Dixon was booked about 12:27 p.m. without bond.

Police responded shortly before 10 a.m. Jan. 31 to a report of a robbery that ended in 27-year-old Eunice Lopez being shot outside her house at 8401 Keats Drive. Lopez later died from her injuries at UAMS Medical Center.

Kevin Williams, 15, and Ramale Collier, 18, also face charges of capital murder, aggravated assault, aggravated robbery and theft of property in the case.

Lopez's death was the third reported homicide in Little Rock this year and one of three reported in the city Jan. 31.

She was killed in a neighborhood where robberies and violent crime were among the highest in Little Rock's 24 police districts last year, the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette previously reported.

No other arrests are anticipated in the case, according to police.
