Officers arrested a second suspect Monday in the Oct. 12 shooting of a Little Rock man who was found dead in the driveway of an apartment complex, a police spokesman said.
Little Rock police found Levon Sales Jr., 32, dead in the driveway of Oakridge Apartments on Mabelvale Cutoff Road in southwest Little Rock. Sales had been shot at least once, and people who live in the apartment complex said he was bleeding heavily from what appeared to be a head wound, according to previous reports.
Officers on Monday arrested Jacquelynn Jones, 23, on a charge of hindering apprehension or prosecution, police spokesman officer Eric Barnes said Tuesday. No details on how Jones was developed as a suspect were immediately available, and Jones' warrant was sealed, a district court clerk said.
Jones was in the Pulaski County jail in lieu of $15,000 bond as of Tuesday evening.
Kenneth Wilson, 18, surrendered to police on Nov. 1 and said he'd intended to only "scare" Sales with the gun because Sales had slapped Wilson in a video posted to social media, according to an arrest report.
Sales grabbed the gun Wilson was brandishing and another person inside the car shot Sales, according to an arrest report.
Wilson pleaded innocent on Nov. 2, according to court records, and was in the Pulaski County jail in lieu of $1.5 million bond as of Tuesday evening.
Arkansas defines hindering apprehension as harboring or concealing a suspect, providing a wanted person with money or means of avoiding arrest, lying to police to protect a suspect, warning a suspect of police activity or otherwise distracting officers from the course of the investigation.
