Police have identified a second suspect in the murder of a 51-year-old man found dead in his Little Rock home earlier this year.

When police questioned Quincy Braxton, 22, who was already in the Pulaski County jail on a different murder charge, he admitted his involvement in the slaying of Gregory Mayo on Feb. 28, according to a Little Rock police report.

Braxton was originally arrested March 29 on accusations of shooting his 21-year-old friend, Robert Lewis Rockett, to death over a firearm. A witness told police she saw Braxton get into a car parked at a Little Rock church, shoot the driver twice with a pistol and come back to her car, the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette previously reported.
